Visa and AB InBev, the largest brewery chain in the world, has now behind the message of both multinationals rallied . Two other major sponsors, Hyundai / Kia and Adidas, have not let themselves heard.
Reaction Blatter
Through his lawyer responded Blatter Friday directly to the call of Coca-Cola and MC Donalds. “Coca-Cola is a valuable sponsor, but Mr. Blatter does not agree with them in this case and does not believe that an immediate departure is good for FIFA and the process of reform. That’s why he will not step down earlier.”
Reelected
