Asian support

ASIAN soccer chief Mohamed Bin Hammam will have the support of the East Asian Football Federation in his bid to become the next FIFA President, the EAFF said yesterday.

"The EAFF Executive Committee ... has unanimously welcomed the decision of Mr. Mohamed bin Hammam, president of AFC, to stand for the presidency of FIFA," the federation, comprising 10 member associations, said in a statement. EAFF President Chung Yun Cho has also expressed full support for Bin Hammam's bid to end Swiss Sepp Blatter's 13-year-reign at the helm of world soccer's governing body.
