Following the  90-day provisional ban on Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini  by FIFA  the Camerounian,  Issa Hayatou will  serve as acting president according to the football body's statutes

 Issa Hayatou,  in a statement today states: 

 "Today, amid extraordinary circumstances, I have assumed the office of FIFA President pursuant to Article 32 (6) of the FIFA Statutes. I will serve only on an interim basis. A new President will be chosen by the Extraordinary Congress on 26 February 2016. I myself will not be a candidate for that position.
"Until the Extraordinary Congress, I pledge that I will dedicate my best efforts to the organization, the member associations, our employees, our valued partners, and football fans everywhere. FIFA remains committed to the reform process, which is critical to reclaiming public trust. We will also continue to cooperate fully with authorities and follow the internal investigation wherever it leads.
"Football has never enjoyed greater support throughout the world, and that is something everyone associated with FIFA should be proud of."
FIFA sources say the 90-day provisional on Blatter and Platini  can be extended to a maximum of 135 days before ethics committee must take further action.
The 79-year-old Swiss has been president of FIFA since 1998 and has worked for the organisation for 40 years, starting as a technical director before becoming secretary general under former president Joao Havelange.

 Swiss prosecutors last month opened a criminal investigation into Blatter over a Caribbean World Cup TV rights contract he signed, and a 2011 payment of 2 million Swiss francs ($2.8 million) to Platini, whose status the Swiss attorney general has described as being between a witness and an accused person.

 Both have denied any wrongdoing.
