Tokyo loses continent's support in Fifa race

Tokyo Sexwale faces an ignominious exit from the Fifa presidential election in the coming days after it emerged yesterday that he will be told in no uncertain terms to withdraw from the race on Tuesday. The South African Football Association (Safa) will meet Sexwale this week after several African countries told the SA sports body that "his blatant disregard for advice and football protocols" won him no friends on the continent.
