Now we have 24 hours to get rid of FIFA boss Sepp Blatter rather than see him elected for a fifth term as president of world football. *Sign up and tell everyone fast* -- if one million of us join now an Avaaz team will deliver it straight into tomorrow’s meeting in Zurich. Sign Now <https://secure.avaaz.org/en/fifa_blattner_en_loc/?bsCVAhb&v=59462> Dear Avaazers, *Swiss police just arrested 7 FIFA executives*, giving hope to billions of people around the world who love football and hate corruption. But unless we move fast Sepp Blatter will get away with it, and begin his fifth term as FIFA president! Under Blatter, FIFA scandals extend from bribery, ripping off FIFA host countries, and burying the ethics investigation he commissioned into vote rigging to award World Cups to Russia and Qatar! But *this isn't just about football -- his FIFA has fostered corruption*, abuse of workers’ rights, and the flattening of communities to erect stadiums in host countries. Yesterday’s dawn raids is the best moment we've ever had to kick out Blatter and reclaim our game. But it won't happen without a massive outcry. *Let’s create the world’s fastest-growing petition today*, hit a million and then call on FIFA execs to kick him out when they vote in 24 hours. *Sign and share this widely*: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/fifa_blattner_en_loc/?bsCVAhb&v=59462 Dear Avaazers, *Swiss police just arrested 7 FIFA executives*, giving hope to billions of people around the world who love football and hate corruption.

A *Transparency* *International poll out this week shows that four in five football fans don’t want Blatter to stand*, and two thirds have lost confidence in FIFA to run the game. The Swiss government arrested the FIFA bigwigs on suspicion of taking over $100 million in bribes and kickbacks in return for football media and marketing rights. The arrests follow a three year investigation by US prosecutors, who say that conspiracies to corrupt took place on US soil and using American banks. US officials are also investigating Sepp Blatter. Let’s move fast to build a massive call to oust Blatter and get FIFA to push back its election until it has candidates who can drag the institution into the twenty-first century, free of corruption. *Sign now and tell everyone: * https://secure.avaaz.org/en/fifa_blattner_en_loc/?bsCVAhb&v=59462 At the beginning of this year the Avaaz community came together to stand up against the slave conditions of World Cup labourers in Qatar. Now we can come together to clean up football at the very heart of FIFA.
