FIFA confirms 4 to stand for president
Print Edition
FIFA has confirmed that incumbent Sepp Blatter, former Portugal forward Luis Figo, Dutch FA president Michael van Praag and Prince Ali Bin al-Hussein of Jordan have bid to stand for president.
Soccer’s governing body said in a statement that the four would be subject to integrity checks carried out by FIFA’s ethics committee before they could be formally declared as candidates. Blatter, 78, is standing for a fifth mandate, having been in power since 1998 and is widely expected to win the vote in Zurich on May 29. Frenchman Jerome Champagne said earlier that he had not received backing from five national associations, as required under the rules, and would not be able to stand.
