Former head of the Brazil Football Federation Ricardo Teixeira has resigned from Fifa’s executive committee and the Brazilian federation.

Football in 2011 was dominated by events off the field rather than on it as headlines were dominated by allegations of corruption and bribery at Fifa.

The International Olympic Committee has no plans to investigate Fifa head Sepp Blatter following the resignation of his predecessor Joao Havelange.

Fifa has attempted to block the release of a document that reveals the identity of two officials forced to repay bribes, the BBC reported.
