NEW YORK (Reuters) - Visa Inc joined fellow FIFA sponsor Coca-Cola Co on Thursday in calling for an independent commission to reform the way that football's governing body is run.

The credit card company's chief executive said on its quarterly earnings call that FIFA's responses to corruption allegations were "wholly inadequate" and showed a lack of awareness of the need for change.
