Ecuador’s football chief refuses to resign
Quito: Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) president Luis Chiriboga has announced that he would not resign amid the allegations about his involvement in the FIFA corruption scandal.
Chiriboga, who has had his position since 1998, told reporters on Friday that he would cooperate with the United States justice system so that his name would be cleared, reports Xinhua.
The FEF president was among the 16 current and former high-ranking Latin American soccer executives from FIFA, in a corruption case that has shaken the organisation.
Since the FIFA corruption scandal broke in May 2015, the FEF president has asked for the FEF accounts to be looked into, according to Chiriboga.
“Since the beginning we have told Ecuador’s Attorney General’s office that we are going to cooperate with the whole investigation and today I confirm that. For that reason I want to say that I will not resign from the FEF,” said Chiriboga.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
