CHINA'S Zhang Jilong, the acting head of Asian soccer, will not run for the AFC presidency in its upcoming election, local media reported yesterday.
The Asian Football Confederation has been without a permanent president since Qatari Mohamed Bin Hammam was banned for life by FIFA for corruption and bribery. "I made this decision totally out of my own will and with careful thinking," Zhang, who has held the acting role since May 2011, told Xinhua news agency.
