World football governing body, FIFA, has lost three of its major sponsors. Oil manufacturers Castrol,tyre and car parts business Continental and healthcare company Johnson & Johnson have each chosen not to extend deals with FIFA, the Daily Telegraph reported. The three companies were among a group of eight businesses identified as �World Cup sponsors� by FIFA, which also had six toptier �partners� at the time of the 2014 tournament. Campaigners lobbying for reform of FIFA, which has faced a number of instances and allegations of corruption, have said they will target its sponsors. The strategy emerged at this week�s �New FIFA Now� summit in Brussels, the first organised campaign to challenge the leadership of FIFA in its 111-year history.
