Voting has begun in the FIFA presidential election but it's now down to four candidates.
South African Tokyo Sexwale has withdrawn, though he wasn't considered to be one of the favourites to succeed Sepp Blatter.
"It was a good run for me to participate alongside the others. I am prepared to serve under the next president. My campaign is suspended as of now. I thank you!" he said to delegates who've gathered for the election in Zurich.
