VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Players do not care who hands out trophies and the absence of embattled FIFA president Sepp Blatter will not have any impact on the Women's World Cup final, organisers said on Friday.

With world soccer's governing body embroiled in corruption investigations, Blatter's U.S. based lawyer has told Reuters the FIFA chief will not travel to Vancouver for Sunday's final between the United States and Japan.
