Acting FIFA President, Hayatou Undergoes Kidney Transplant

The president of Confederation of African Football (CAF) and acting FIFA President, Issa Hayatou, has undergone a “successful” kidney transplant. A statement by the world football governing body on Friday reads:

 "Issa Hayatou has never hidden the fact that, for several years now, he has been suffering from a renal insufficiency, a situation that has not, however, prevented him from fully performing his duties at the heart of world and African football’s governing bodies, without interruption."

Hayatou, has been overseeing the affairs of FIFA, since Sepp Blatter was provisionally suspended for 90 days.
