FIFA announced on Friday that an extraordinary executive committee meeting will be held on October 20 in Zurich to discuss the corruption crisis which has engulfed the governing body.

"FIFA can today confirm that its Executive Committee will convene in Zurich on Tuesday 20 October 2015 for an extraordinary meeting," said a statement.

"Further information will be communicated in due course."

The announcement came just a day after embattled president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michel Platini, one of the men lining up to succeed the 79-year-old in the FIFA hot seat, were both suspended for 90 days.

Both men say they intend to appeal their suspensions.
