FIFA sponsors McDonald`s and Coca-Cola demand Sepp Blatter`s `immediate` resignation
Two American companies, McDonald`s and Coca-Cola, have called for FIFA President Sepp Blatter to step down immediately.
First Coca-Cola released a statement on Friday, saying that "the image and reputation of FIFA continues to tarnish," and calling for an "urgent reform."

In the same day, the fast-food giant followed Coca-Cola`s plea, saying that FIFA reputation and "public confidence in its leadership" continue to devaluate. Replying to FIFA`s long time sponsors` allegations, FIFA said that although the sponsorship is "valued," its president "respectfully disagrees" with such a position.

Last week, Swiss attorney general`s office announced it had opened a criminal procedure against Sepp Blatter, who is being investigated on the suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation.
