Jeffrey Webb, one of seven soccer officials arrested in Zurich in May, has agreed to be extradited and face corruption charges in the U.S., according to a person familiar with the matter.

Webb, a suspended vice president with the sport’s global governing body FIFA, is expected to appear within several days in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, according to the person, who requested anonymity because the matter isn’t public.
