ZURICH (Reuters) - Football's under-fire world governing body FIFA has announced an unexpected news conference at its Zurich headquarters later on Tuesday (1700 BST).

Earlier, FIFA issued a statement denying that president Sepp Blatter's right-hand man Jerome Valcke was involved in $10 million bank transactions under investigation by U.S. authorities despite the publication of a letter to Valcke outlining the payment relating to South Africa's hosting of the 2010 World Cup.
