Sepp Blatter, FIFA President said "And now today, they (the Polish authorities) took the decision... Ok, we will come back with this electoral committee and this electoral committee will start to work again tomorrow morning and at the same time we will withdraw then, this special commissioner we have installed there. And with that, I would say, peace is back in Polish football, but we will monitor (the situation) at least until the (electoral) congress, which has been fixed several weeks ago already, on the 30th October."
