FIFA official faces sack for touting match tickets

THE SENIOR FIFA figure at the centre of a World Cup ticket scandal faces becoming the first person to be kicked off the organisation’s executive committee in its 102-year history.

Ismail Bhamjee, who was caught out selling England tickets for several times their face value, has already been ordered to leave Germany and cease all World Cup duties.

Further disciplinary action will follow and it is expected that he will be expelled from his executive committee post, which carries a £54,000 annual salary as well as £270-a-day expenses.
