The president of the Colombian Football Federation
Luis Bedoya has resigned due to personal reasons.
Luis Bedoya resigned as president of the Colombian Football
Federation (FCF) on Monday, citing "reasons of a personal
nature" behind his decision.
Bedoya - also a member of FIFA's Executive Committee - leaves
his role at a time when world football's governing body is still
reeling from the corruption scandal that led to the suspension of
president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michel Platini.
Both men deny any wrongdoing, while South American football
was dragged into the scandal due to former CONMEBOL
members being among a number of FIFA officials past and
present indicted on charges of racketeering, conspiracy and
corruption.
However, Bedoya, who was in charge of Colombian football
since 2006, has not been implicated.
In his time at the helm, he has seen Colombia reach the quarter-
final of the World Cup in Brazil last year, while also reaching the
last eight of two Copa Americas.
