The president of European football's governing body, UEFA (yoo-ay-fa), Michel Platini, says they will not boycott the presidential elections of the international footballing institution, FIFA.
There has been speculation UEFA could do so in the wake of a series of seven arrests in Switzerland and resulted in 14 people including senior FIFA officials being charged by US authorities with racketeering, fraud and money laundering.
FIFA is set to persist with its presidential elections on Friday despite the scandal but the footballing bodies across Europe say they will not support the reelection of incumbent FIFA president Sepp Blatter for his fifth term.
UEFA president Michel Platini says he has told Mr Blatter he should retract his candidacy for reelection at a Thursday morning meeting in Zurich, Switzerland
