UEFA says 2018 World Cup organising committee CEO Alexei Sorokin is the only applicant to fill Vitaly Mutko’s seat.
Sorokin must pass an eligibility test by a FIFA review panel to be the candidate for a Sept. 20 vote.
Mutko, who is also the chairman of the World Cup organising committee, was blocked by the FIFA panel because of a conflict with his government duties.
However, a seat on the FIFA Council stayed vacant when a candidate from Iceland withdrew during the campaign.
