Coca-Cola 'demands FIFA reform'

FIFA sponsor Coca-Cola has reportedly demanded that an independent third-party commission oversee the reform of the world football governing body.

The drinks giant wrote to FIFA on July 9, according to BBC Sport, asking for "one or more eminent, impartial leaders" to discuss how the organisation can regain its credibility.

The American soft drinks company believes that third-party input will help restore trust, with the move likely to put added pressure on outgoing FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

Coca-Cola has sponsored FIFA since 1974.
