FIFA loses three major sponsors

London - Three of world governing body FIFA's
major sponsors have ended their relationships with
the organisation, British newspaper the Daily
Telegraph reported on Friday.
The paper said that oil manufacturers Castrol, tyre
company Continental and healthcare firm Johnson
and Johnson have all chosen not to renew contracts
with FIFA that have expired.
It follows the news in November that Sony and
Emirates had ended their relationships with FIFA,
which has signed up Russian oil and gas giant
Gazprom as a commercial partner ahead of the 2018
World Cup in Russia.

Quoted by the Telegraph, a spokesperson from
Castrol said: "We have not been sponsors of FIFA
since, I believe, the World Cup last year."
Johnson and Johnson stated: "It was a decision that
was made for business reasons after a
comprehensive review."
Continental told the newspaper: "It was a great
platform for us and now we're using football on a
regionalised level."
British politician Damian Collins, who is leading a
campaign to impose reform on FIFA, said the
sponsors' withdrawal proved that the organisation
had become a "toxic brand".
FIFA and its president Sepp Blatter have been
dogged by scandal over accusations of corruption
surrounding the bidding process for the 2018 and
2022 World Cups in 2010.
