UEFA president, Michel Platini, continues to retain the support of European football's governing body in his bid to become FIFA president despite concerns over a £1.35M payment made to him by Sepp Blatter.
Both Platini and Blatter have been questioned by Swiss authorities about the payment while Blatter still faces criminal proceedings over it. Both deny any wrong doing.
It had been reported that several countries had threatened to drop their support for Platini if they didn't get assurances about the £1.35M payment made to him by Blatter since there was an absence of a written contract detailing the payment.
UEFA's 54 members met in Nyon to discuss the issue and it would appear that they got those assurances.
