— At a hastily called press conference Tuesday in Zurich, Switzerland, Sepp Blatter announced his intent to resign as president of FIFA.

An “extraordinary” FIFA Congress will be convened in accordance with FIFA notice and other guidelines, but this extraordinary congress will not take place until sometime between December 2015 and March 2016, according to a spokesperson at Tuesday’s press conference.

Blatter was just re-elected as FIFA President last week. A Tuesday’s press conference, Blatter said he will remain as FIFA president until the extraordinary congress can convene.

Meanwhile, Aaron Davidson, the former president of Traffic Sports USA, Inc. and the only charged soccer official yet arraigned as a result of last week’s U.S. Justice Department indictments, appears to be entering plea negotiations with federal authorities.

In court filings, prosecutors and Davidson’s attorney, Michael Hantman, asked a federal judge to delay Davidson’s prospective trial date from May 29 to July 17, a request that was granted.

“The parties seek the exclusion of the foregoing period because they are engaged in plea negotiations, which they believe are likely to result in a disposition of this case without trial, and they require an exclusion of time in order to focus efforts on plea negotiations without the risk that they would not, despite their due diligence, have reasonable time for effective preparation for trial,” the application for the delay said.

It would be common practice that such plea negotiations between defendants and federal authorities would include a pledge of full cooperation with the U.S. Justice Department’s ongoing corruption investigation.

Traffic Sports USA remains the majority stakeholder in the Carolina RailHawks, the Cary-based soccer club. Davidson is also a director of Carh Holding, LLC, the RailHawks management company. He is also the now-former chairperson of the North American Soccer League (NASL), having been suspended from that post last week by the league.
