? Emirates the latest sponsor to put pressure on Fifa
? Coca-Cola and Adidas have also voiced their concerns
Emirates has become the latest corporate sponsor of Fifa to express concern about the corruption scandal within world football's governing body.
"Emirates, like all football fans around the world, is disappointed with the issues that are currently surrounding the administration of the sport," the airline said in a statement. "We hope that these issues will be resolved as soon as possible and the outcome will be in the interest of the game and sport in general."
Coca-Cola and Adidas have also voiced their concerns after the Fifa executives Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner were suspended on Sunday over bribery allegations in Bin Hammam's now-abandoned presidential bid.
It comes as the Football Association calls on Fifa to postpone Wednesday's presidential election, in which Sepp Blatter is standing unopposed.
