"My Mission is not Over" - Sepp Blatter

Incumbent president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), Sepp Blatter, Monday confirmed he will stand for re-election as Fifa president next year.

The 78-year-old Blatter, who hails from Switzerland, was first elected as FIFA president in 1998; and has contributed immensely to the growth of world football.

UEFA President Not Interested in Blatter's Position

UEFA president, Michel Platini, has revealed that he will not be running for the Fifa presidency during next year's election.

Platini has heavily criticised Sepp Blatter on more than one occasion, also stating that the Swiss was "finished"; hence, no longer the right man to lead Fifa.
