Acting DFB President Reinhard Rauball has revealed that the German FA will not vote for AFC President Sheikh Salman in the upcoming FIFA Presidential elections.
According to Reinhard Rauball, his federation will not vote for the Bahraini in next week's Fifa Presidency elections because of his suspected human rights abuses.
The DFB has already said they will be voting for Uefa candidate Gianni Infantino in the elections to replace disgraced Fifa president Sepp Blatter in Zurich on February 26.
Rauball explained in an interview with Thursday's edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ why the Bahraini candidate Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa is not an option for the Germans.
"In terms of football, he makes a good impression. But given the human rights issues and the persistent doubts, which have not been cleared up, we will not vote for him," Rauball told the FAZ.
Greg Dyke, chairman of the English Football Association, has cast similar doubts over Sheikh Salman's bid to succeed Blatter.
Despite these recent revelations, it appears that the AFC President will get the nod yto succeed Sepp Blatter with support from the Confederation of African Football and the Asian Football Federation.
