FATMA SAMOURA TO STEP DOWN AS FIFA SECRETARY GENERAL, SAYS FIFA


Senegal's Fatma Samoura will step down from her role as FIFA Secretary General at the end of the year, world soccer's governing body said on Wednesday.

Samoura, who was a United Nations veteran, became the first woman to be named FIFA secretary general and was tasked with its day-to-day running as the body looked to fix its reputation after being embroiled in corruption scandals.

Her predecessor Jerome Valcke was fired in 2016 and banned for ethics violations.
