Bulgaria's suspended Olympic Committee member received a sudden sign of friendliness from FIFA.

Ivan Slavkov has been invited to the Confederations Cup final on Wednesday, sports media said. Slavkov is expected to meet FIFA President Sepp Blatter in Frankfurt.

Slavkov is facing a dismissal from the International Olympics Committee over a bribery scandal, sparkled by a BBC hidden camera.

IOC is expected to decide on Slavkov's fate during next month's summit.

If the Singapore conference ousts Slavkov, that would shake his longstanding dominance in the Bulgarian sports administration.
