5. China's Zhang takes over AFC
China's Zhang Jilong has temporarily taken charge of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) after president Mohamed bin Hammam was officially dismissed and suspended by FIFA for life over bribery allegations in July.
The legal committee of the AFC was also in an agreement that an extraordinary congress for the election of president could not be convened until after May 30, 2012, and Zhang will serve as president until that date.
Zhang was also elected as member of the FIFA executive committee in October, marking the first time a Chinese is among the highest authorities of international soccer.
