In the latest twist in scandal at the world football body FIFA, one of the vice-presidents, Jack Warner has informed FIFA about his resignation from his posts in international football.
In an official statement FIFA said it regretted the turn of events that have led to Mr Warnerโs decision.
FIFA said that Mr Warner was leaving FIFA by his own volition after nearly 30 years of service, having chosen to focus on his work on behalf of the people and government of Trinidad and Tobago as a Cabinet Minister and as the Chairman of the United National Congress, the major party in his countryโs coalition government.
The FIFA Executive Committee, the FIFA President and the FIFA management thanked Mr Warner for his services to Caribbean, CONCACAF and international football over his many years devoted to football at both regional and international level, and wished him well for the future.
As a consequence of Mr Warnerโs self-determined resignation, all Ethics Committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained.
