FIFA vice president detained: report

FIFA vice president Ahmad Ahmad has been detained in Paris, a day before the start of the Women's World Cup, according to sources.

The African Football Confederation president was detained for questioning in the French capital on Thursday morning (local time), sources said.

African news outlet Jeune Afrique first reported that Ahmad had been detained as part of a corruption investigation.

FIFA has struggled to move on from the corruption crisis that erupted with officials being arrested in May 2015.

Four years on, FIFA president Gianni Infantino told members in Paris earlier this week that now "nobody talks about scandals. Nobody talks about corruption".
