Blatter calls for respect for Africa

Fifa chief Sepp Blatter says teams found guilty of racism must be punished by suspensions, points deductions or even relegation.

The president of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi demands more respect for Africa from fellow Fifa members.

The late Prof Ali Mazrui stated in the book The Power of Babel: Language and Governance in Africa: “One out of every five black people on earth has a European language for a mother tongue.” Mazrui then proceeded to show how English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish dominate the African linguistic landscape.

Fifa presidential candidate Luis Figo believes incumbent Sepp Blatter does not have the backing of all of Africa in his bid for re-election.

Why do Fifa's African delegates keep voting for Sepp Blatter, asks the BBC's Matthew Kenyon.

Sepp Blatter has been re-elected as president of football's world governing body, despite widespread allegations of corruption at FIFA.
