FIFA's senior vice-president and finance committee chairman, he died in 2014 aged 82.

Chung Mong-Joon (banned for six years)

The Korean billionaire, a long-time critic of Blatter's, lost his FIFA place soon after the 2010 vote. He announced he would stand for the FIFA presidency in 2016 but in October he was banned for six years by FIFA's ethics committee for his role in Korea's 2022 World Cup bid. He has claimed the ban is a move to stop him running for president.

Issa Hayatou (acting FIFA president)

The head of African football took over as acting president after Blatter was provisionally suspended. The 69-year-old, who has kidney disease, unsuccessfully challenged Blatter in 2002. His record is not blemish-free - he was reprimanded by the International Olympic Committee over payments he received from FIFA's former marketing partners ISL during the 1990s.
