Asian soccer chief against challenging Blatter at FIFA
Print Edition
THE Asian Football Confederation president has warned against any potential challenge to Sepp Blatter and pledged support for the controversial FIFA chief.
Blatter is seeking a fifth term in charge of football’s world governing body. Former FIFA official Jerome Champagne has said he plans to stand against Blatter — and has until late January to show he has the support of five national associations — while Harold Mayne-Nicholls, the former head of the Chilean federation, is also considering standing.
AFC boss Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa said that any challenger has to consider what is best for the continent as a whole. Speaking ahead of the AFC annual awards ceremony in Manila yesterday, he said: “If someone wants to run, they have to look at the interests of the whole continent... But it is a free choice, if they want to run, we can’t stop them.”
