Jeffrey Webb, one of seven current and former FIFA officials detained in Switzerland has agreed to be extradited to the United States, according to reports.

The Swiss Federal Office of Justice said on Friday that one of the seven had agreed not to fight extradition without identifying the official.

Fifty-year-old Jeffrey Webb was elected as head of CONCACAF, the confederation which governs the sport in North and Central America and the Caribbean in 2012.

He was arrested in Zurich at the end of May two days before the start of FIFA’s annual conference.
