Acting FIFA president Issa Hayatou has undergone a “successful” kidney transplant, the world football governing body announced on Friday.
“Issa Hayatou has never hidden the fact that, for several years now, he has been suffering from a renal insufficiency, a situation that has not, however, prevented him from fully performing his duties at the heart of world and African football’s governing bodies, without interruption,” said a FIFA statement.
