UEFA's boss thinks it's time for the Swiss exec to step down as FIFA president, while some sponsors demand answers after several officers were arrested yesterday.

Michel Platini is clear about something: Sepp Blatter has to resign from his position as FIFA's president. The French exec and UEFA president had a meeting with the Swiss director prior to the start of the annual FIFA Congress. Platini revealed he has asked Blatter to step down, so that all the corruption allegations surrounding football's governing body can be sorted out and the sport can restore its credibility.

"Enough is enough, too much is too much. We support Prince Ali - and we ask others to do the same. I have tears in my eyes but there have been too many scandals. FIFA does not deserve to be treated this way, it is the mother of football. People have had enough, people no longer want the president anymore. It is important for FIFA to be strong, but FIFA is no longer strong," Platini stated in a press conference.

On Wednesday morning, seven top ranking officers from FIFA were arrested by Swiss and FBI authorities due to racketeering and corruption charges concerning all football tournaments organized in CONMEBOL and CONCACAF. Among those people now under police custody is Jeffrey Webb, FIFA's Vice President and CONCACAF Chairman.

Platini, who was seen as many as the only proper candidate to succeed Blatter, shared details about his meeting with Blatter, even hinting UEFA could take extreme measures, such as a boycott to the organisation's tournaments.

"Sepp was affected, I spoke to him as a friend. I said you have to leave, he said it is too late. It is not easy to tell a friend he must leave. I did. UEFA associations will meet in Berlin next week, we will be open to all options," Platini added.

Visa and Coca Cola demand answers from Blatter

Several of FIFA's partners have released statements demanding the organisation to change its approach on these findings. Credit card company Visa, who is one of FIFA's biggest sponsors, stated in a press release they would be willing to withdraw their support if they don't feel the proper measures are being taken to erradicate actions such as these.

"This must start with the reconstruction of their culture, with strong ethics, so that their reputation is restored among fans all over the world. If FIFA doesn't take the proper measures to do so, we would seriously consider reevaluating our relationship with football's governing body," can be read in the press release.

Other companies like Coca Cola backed up that statement, referring to how necessary it is to have the organism's reputation restored.

"This long controversy has tarnished the mission and ideals of the FIFA World Cup, and we have repeatedly expressed our concern over this accusations," a company's spokesman stated.
