Sky News' Paul Kelso is reporting, external that all 209 Fifa member associations are represented at the Congress.
Why does that matter? Well, it appeared Brazil would not be there after reports from the country that Marco Polo Del Nero, the president of the Brazilian football federation, had fled Zurich after the arrest of executive committee member Jose Maria Marin.
This means four of the 25 FIFA executive committee members may be absent from Saturday's meeting: Jeffrey Webb from Cayman Islands and Eduardo Li from Costa Rica are under arrest, while England's David Gill has announced he will refuse to attend if Blatter is re-elected for a fifth term.
Sepp Blatter: "We are at a turning point and we need to pull together and move forward.
"There are 209 members and with their families and friends, we reach 1.6 billion people. If we consider that the biggest country on Earth is China with 1.3 billion people, we are a very popular entity.
"Outside the pitch, there are no limits, there are no referees. So who needs to supervise the situation? We have a reform programme which was launched four years ago and we set up a disciplinary committee."

"We are going through troubled times, events that have thrown a shadow across Fifa and Congress. Lets try to lift that shadow and our spirits.
"We cannot let the reputation of Fifa get dragged through the mud. Individuals are responsible for this, not the entire organisation."
Sepp Blatter has clambered to his feet again and is now making his presidential address...

"Where do we start? Goodness me...I don't know how he goes on," Shearer tells BBC Radio 5 live.

"We wanted to get to second this year but unfortunately we couldn't manage that so now we're looking to finish the season off with the cup."
