Auditing firm KPMG has ended its decade-long association with scandal-hit football governing body FIFA, the world body said today. 

"FIFA acknowledges the decision of KPMG to step down as FIFA's auditor after more than a decade of service," FIFA said in a statement. 

FIFA has been battling to redeem its name ever since a raid on a Zurich hotel last year to arrest seven FIFA officials at the centre of a US investigation. 

About 40 individuals and two companies now face charges in the US over more than $200m in bribes paid for television and marketing contracts.
