LONDON (Reuters) - FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam called on Thursday for incumbent Sepp Blatter to be included in the current bribery investigation.
Bin Hammam, who is due to stand against FIFA president Blatter in next Wednesday's election and has denied any wrongdoing, is set to face FIFA's Ethics Committee on Sunday.
"As the recent accusations also mention incumbent FIFA president Joseph Blatter, Mohamed Bin Hammam has requested that the investigation be extended to include Mr Blatter," a statement from his spokesman said.
