Voting Results:
Blatter: 133
al-Hussein: 73
Blow me. Even amidst all this corruption scandal and media attention, Blatter still almost doubles his vote.
Reports we CONCACAF and UEFA were fully on board for Prince, while Africa, Asia, and SA were faithful to Blatter
FIFA has 209 member-nations, and each one’s soccer association is equally powerful in the sport’s governing body. Every member, from China (population: 1.36 billion) to tiny Montserrat (population: 5,215), gets one vote in the FIFA Congress. That means each one gets to cast a vote in the FIFA presidential election scheduled for this Friday in Zurich.
Whether a member state is big or small doesn’t seem to matter — FIFA spending isn’t tied to the number of people covered by the association. There was no correlation between a member’s population2 and the budget of active Goal projects. And there was a slight negative correlation between FAP spending and population — partly because the populous countries of China and Nigeria got less than average.3 Take, for example, the combined budget for the active Goal projects in Montserrat ($1.8 million)4 and compare it with that of projects in China ($3 million). Or the amount of FAP funds that the West Indies island received, $2.05 million, versus the amount China received, $800,000.
