The Scottish Football Association (SFA) has called for Fifa to postpone presidential election as the world football governing body continues to be mired in corruption allegations.

The move comes a few hours after the Football Association in England called for the postponement of Wednesday's poll.

Fifa has been rocked by allegations of corruption at the top level of their administration. Leading sponsors Coca-Cola, adidas and Emirates join many voices in world football by raising concerns over recent events.

Last weekend, Asian football chief Mohamed Bin Hammam pulled out of the race to be president of Fifa against incumbent Sepp Blatter, hours before he was provisionally banned from all football-related activities on bribery charges.

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke then confirmed he sent an email suggesting the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was "bought" - but later insisted he was referring to Qatar using their "financial strength" to legitimately lobby for votes.

At a news conference on Monday, Blatter admitted Fifa faced "difficulties" but insisted there was no crisis. He stated: "Crisis? What is a crisis? Football is not in a crisis."

On Tuesday afternoon, Stewart Regan, the chief executive of the SFA, said: "The Scottish FA can today confirm its position that the Fifa presidential election be postponed in light of recent uncertainty.

"We believe the election should be rescheduled to facilitate a period of consultation to deal with the issues that have arisen in recent weeks. The events of the last two days, in particular, have made any election unworkable.

"The integrity and reputation of the game across the world is paramount and the Scottish FA urges Fifa to reconsider its intentions, and calls on other member associations to consider the long-term implications for the game's image."
