ZURICH (AP)—Emirates has become the latest corporate sponsor of FIFA to express concern about the corruption scandal within world football’s governing body.

Spokesman Boutros Boutros says Emirates “like all football fans around the world, is disappointed with the issues that are currently surrounding the administration of this sport.”

Coca-Cola and Adidas have also voiced their concerns after FIFA executives Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner were suspended Sunday over bribery allegations in bin Hammam’s now-abandoned presidential bid.

Boutros says Emirates hopes “the outcome will be in the interest of the game and sport in general.”
