Three-way fight to succeed Clarke as Fifa vice-president
There will be a three-way contest for the British Fifa vice-presidency – a position that carries a £250,000-a-year stipend for attending just a few meetings – to succeed England’s Greg Clarke, who resigned last month.
There will be no English candidate this time and Northern Ireland’s David Martin is the frontrunner, with Kieran O’Connor aiming to become the first Welshman to hold the position. The Scottish FA vice-president Michael Mulraney is also standing. There could even be two Welsh representatives on Fifa – the former Sport Wales chairman Laura McAllister is running for the position on Fifa Council reserved for a European woman.
