    Michel Platini's FIFA candidacy fails to excite Africa

    Michel Platini's FIFA candidacy fails to excite Africa
    REUTERS | 31 July, 2015 12:29

    This file picture taken in Zurich on May 29, 2015 during the opening of the 65th FIFA Congress shows FIFA President Sepp Blatter (C) walking past challenger for the FIFA presidency, FIFA vice president Prince Ali bin al Hussein (L) and UEFA President French Michel Platini (R). Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein said on July 29, 2015 that he thought Michel Platini, who confirmed he will run for FIFA president next year, is "not good for football and football's fans and players deserve better." The Jordanian prince, who was beaten to the post at the head of world football's governing body by long-standing chief Sepp Blatter in May, turned on the Frenchman and said Platini, who is seen as a strong candidate, is not the man to run the sport's global affairs.

    Michel Platini's bid for the FIFA presidency has garnered no immediate enthusiasm from Africa despite France's strong footballing ties with the continent.

    A day after confirming he would stand to replace Sepp Blatter as leader of world football, the Frenchman has been criticised by one African association and given a lukewarm endorsement by one of his closest allies.

    "Platini would not represent change, he has been a FIFA vice-president for eight years. He should not replace Sepp Blatter, it would be unacceptable," said Liberian Football Association president Musa Bility in a BBC interview.

    Fifa presidency race: South Korean Chung Mong-joon challenges Michel Platini for world football's top job

    South Korean Chung Mong-joon has declared his intention to contest Fifa’s presidential election in February, joining Uefa president Michel Platini and Musa Bility, head of the Liberian FA.

    The presence of Chung, a former Fifa vice-president and the largest shareholder in Hyundai – the South Korean car company who have been a leading Fifa sponsor since 1999 – will increase the political wranglings around the contest, a spectacle Fifa’s critics want left in the past.

      Platini's FIFA bid fails to excite Africa
      Rio de Janeiro - The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) said on Thursday it is backing national football legend Zico's bid to replace Sepp Blatter as FIFA president.

      The endorsement was a big boost for Zico, 62, who has previously conceded lacking support from Brazil's footballing top brass. However, to establish himself as a formal candidate he would still have to get backing from four other countries.

        The Asian Confederation, via Sheikh Ahmad of Kuwait, is likely to do the same, quite possibly in return for more seats on Fifa’s 25-man executive committee – one of which could come at the expense of Great Britain.
