Fifa sponsors Adidas and Kia hold back on calls for Sepp Blatter to resign

Fifa sponsors Adidas and Kia Motors are not following four of the organisation’s other corporate backers in demanding Sepp Blatter resigns immediately.

The president of world soccer’s governing body has rebuffed demands from Budweiser, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Visa to step down now – instead of holding on to power until February’s emergency election.
