Coca-Cola has added its voice to Adidas's in expressing concern about the ongoing claims and counter-claims surrounding key figures in Fifa. The two companies are major sponsors of world football's governing body.

The Fifa vice-president Jack Warner and the Asian Football Confederation president, Mohamed bin Hammam, were suspended on Sunday by the ethics committee of football's governing body, pending the outcome of a full inquiry into allegations they paid officials $40,000 (£24,500) each in bribes.

Warner responded by making claims against the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, and general secretary, Jérôme Valcke.

A Coca-Cola spokesperson said: "The current allegations being raised are distressing and bad for the sport. We have every expectation that Fifa will resolve this situation in an expedient and thorough manner."

An Adidas spokesman had earlier commented: "Adidas enjoys a long-term, close and successful partnership with Fifa that we are looking forward to continuing. Adidas will be an official sponsor of Fifa World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Having said that, the negative tenor of the public debate around Fifa at the moment is neither good for football nor for Fifa and its partners."
