Opera great Placido Domingo is considering an invitation from FIFA President Sepp Blatter to help clean up world football’s governing body.
Blatter on Monday said he wanted the 70-year-old Spanish-born tenor to sit on a “council of wisdom” alongside former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former Netherlands player Johan Cruyff.
But Domingo is not committing to the role until he receives more information from Blatter about the committee being formed in the wake of the worst corruption scandal in FIFA’s 107-year history.
“Since 1970 -- with the exception of 1978 -- I have been at every World Cup final in every host country,” Domingo said in comments provided to The Associated Press. “In my amateur way, I am an expert in football. I am happy to have been asked to be involved with this great sport and have requested more details to see if I can be of help.”
