From corruption investigations in the United States and Switzerland to the sudden suspension of his right-hand man, FIFA chief Sepp Blatter can expect a barrage of questions when he faces the media on Friday.
Blatter's press conference, his first appearance since the removal of FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, will follow a two-day executive committee meeting where the seemingly-endless scandals at world football's sleaze-tainted governing body are on the agenda.

Since the executive committee last met, much of the news surrounding FIFA has been less than positive.
On Wednesday, the Swiss justice ministry approved the extradition to the US of Rafael Esquivel, a Venezuelan ex-FIFA official who was among those arrested in a dawn raid in Zurich in May.
Switzerland has also approved the transfer to US jurisdiction of former FIFA vice-president Eugenio Figueredo, a Uruguayan, with extradition decisions on four other suspects due in the coming days.
Last week also saw Valcke's sacking on allegations that he participated in a massive black market ticket-selling scheme surrounding the 2014 World Cup.
Valcke fiercely denies the allegations and has vowed to fight them.
Three days before Valcke was dismissed, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said her sweeping investigation into decades of graft at FIFA was expanding and was likely to lead to more people being charged.
It was Lynch who uncorked the crisis at FIFA in May, when her office unsealed indictments against 14 people – nine football officials and five sports marketing executives – accused of involvement in a bribery scandal worth more than $150 million dollars (134 million euros) since 1991.
Blatter's press conference at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich is set for Friday, following the executive committee meeting which opens on Thursday afternoon.
The committee is expected to hear reports on a range of subjects, including preparations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, but much of the public attention is likely focused on two items.
