Sepp Blatter has confirmed he will stand for a fifth term as Fifa president next year.

Blatter has been widely expected to stand again despite saying in 2011 this would be his last term and now he has confirmed he will do so. It follows Uefa president Michel Platini announcing last month that he would not stand for the Fifa post.

Blatter said he would officially inform the Fifa executive committee of his plans at the next meeting on 25 and 26 September.

The 78-year-old said in a video interview played at the Soccerex conference in Manchester: “I will inform the executive committee. It’s a question of respect also to say then to the football family, ‘Yes I will be ready. I will be a candidate.’”

Blatter said the backing of the majority of the national associations at the Fifa Congress in São Paulo in June had convinced him to keep going.

He added: “You see a mission is never finished. And my mission is not finished.

“Then I got through the last Congress in São Paulo not only the impression but the support of the majority, a huge majority of national associations asking ‘Please go on, be our president also in future’.”

The election will take place at the Fifa Congress next May. The only other declared candidate is the former Fifa deputy secretary general Jerome Champagne, although the candidacy deadline is not until January next year.

Before the World Cup started in Brazil in June, five of Fifa’s six confederations - the exception being Uefa - gave Blatter their support to continue as president and it is almost inconceivable that he will not be re-elected when voting takes place at the Fifa Congress in Zurich next June.

5th term in Office?

Wish my darling Jonathan could rule until a fifth term in office.
That's 20 years as Nigerian President.




















God forbid such!
The only reason why he would remain as President by 2015 is because he doesn't have a strong and trustworthy rival.
