    Issa Hayatou is a close ally of outgoing Fifa boss Sepp Blatter

    Upon his return to Cameroon after the Fifa congress, the 68-year-old said he was not "bothered" by the authorities in Switzerland and that those accused of corruption at the football governing body had been framed.

    "Whatever the case, I am not surprised. For 20 years now I have been accused, especially by the Cameroonian and English press. They are the two media organisations that say things about me. But that is nothing. It is just the way life is," he said, external.
