ZURICH (AFP) - Sepp Blatter vowed on Friday to lead Fifa out of the corruption "storm" in which it has become embroiled if elected to a fifth term as president.

"I am held responsible for the storm. OK, yes, I accept this responsibility," he told a Fifa congress.

"I promise a strong Fifa, I want to climb back up the hill, arrange Fifa's situation. I want a beautiful Fifa, strong out of the storm," he said before voting started.
