Sepp Blatter has rejected an invitation to participate in a live televised debate with his rivals for the FIFA presidency.

Sky and the BBC had invited the FIFA president and his three challengers to take part in an hour-long debate, answering questions from an international audience of football supporters.

All three of Blatter's rivals - Prince Ali of Jordan, Michael Van Praag of the Netherlands and former Portugal winger Luis Figo - have accepted the invitation on the condition that the FIFA president takes part.

A FIFA representative has told the broadcasters that Blatter was declining the invitation. They did not offer any explanation for his decision, and he has not responded in writing.

Sky and the BBC proposed a four-way debate, broadcast on television, radio and online, in front of an audience of fans drawn from all 209 FIFA member nations. This 'Fans' Congress', mirroring the national football associations who will elect the FIFA president, would provide all the questions.

In the invitation, the broadcasters wrote: "We believe this is a perfect opportunity for those who aspire to the FIFA presidency to address the issues that matter to supporters of the world's favourite game."

Blatter's rivals all enthusiastically welcomed the proposal, but stressed the importance of the FIFA president's participation.

Prince Ali told the broadcasters he was "very keen to participate" and said the Sky-BBC proposal "makes a lot of sense".

Figo wrote: "I am honoured by your invitation to take part in such an important debate, and it will be a pleasure to contribute to such an important discussion for football."

Van Praag said he was also keen to participate in a forum that would have opened up the FIFA election procedure to an audience beyond the football insiders who decide the election.

Blatter may now face criticism from his rivals for avoiding discussion of issues concerning FIFA's reputation, the World Cup hosts selection process and corruption allegations, which they say should be at the heart of the election.

For his part, Blatter's rejection of the debate proposal is in keeping with a low-key "non-campaign" that appears designed to minimise debate and risk.

Since formally declaring his candidacy at the end of January, Blatter has made no public comments regarding his plans for FIFA or published a manifesto or any other proposals for what would be his fifth term in office.

He is not thought to have appointed any campaign staff, and under the election rules FIFA employees are prevented from working for his election effort.

He remains a strong favourite to win the election in Zurich, Switzerland, on May 29.

Lol..bite off lips?

Gossip don end b dt

Na so o.

I pray that they will soon be caught. So sad!!

It rarely comes as toks. You find more of the American spec as toks; but mine is the European spec (which is more rugged, durable and fuel efficient).

A couple of friends that were lucky to find toks, got theirs at N1.550m and N1.6m respectively.

I bought mine for 1m from an uncle who is a banker. It still had a low mileage of 53k miles as at when I bought it.

It's a car that will leave you with absolutely no regrets whatsoever...especially as a lady.

Hmm. Thanks! I am a lover of Toyota for his "ruggedity" and very low cost of maintenance. I have used Corolla all my life. From 1st lady to Small but mighty(1999) and currently 2003 model. I am selling the latter which i have used for 5 years for 800k. Infact, someone has made a part payment and i am contemplating on buying the 2006 model once the buyer completes his payment. I saw one at Mandilas for N1.7m but i think it's expensive. It is an European spec(Bank type) like yours. However, i consider the American spec more feminine.

Chynx:
Whatever you do, stay away from Nissan Altima 2.5S (2002model). This vehicle almost killed me with series of complaints...especially electrical; including the fact that it has not ABS!

I have been breathing fresh air since I sold it and got myself a 2006 Toyota Corolla (Bank Type). No sweat at all.

My 2 cents.

How much is Toks of the 2006 corolla?

Typical of broke ugly guys. All of these insults just because i made an observation? Why are you beefing FFK? Is it because you are poor and ugly? I am neither a supporter of PDP nor ACP but at 55, it is commendable to see Fani looking young, fresh and handsome. I am sure you don't even come close even as a teen.

midolian:
mumu talk from mumu person..na so bianca do wey hin fvck am without condom.

Easy now. Why are you taking things personal? It's just an observation. Amaechi dey fork your mother?

martin123:
To be honest, FFK is intelligent and he can talk. Good they didn't put him and Amechi together

Also fresh and handsome. Amaechi na pako....

silverdam:
Tiwa's career has ended already, from the moment she got pregnant, shakara don end, nothing for her. As for Yemi Slade, she's trying but she needs to stop being tacky if she wants to dethrone for real.

U be real Oloshi like someone suggested. Because God don work wonders for her now by making her pregnant, her own don finish? Make Tiwa born finish, post pictures of your 16 year old Egbesu girlfriend with fallen breast make we compare am with Tiwa after Childbirth.

GreenWhiteGreen:



Weak and useless men will do that. Bush!it

Empty head!! Lazy thing, a real Man will do this for a pregnant wife if need be. Useless thing, money you no get, to help your wife with home chores, u can't. Of what benefit you be sef ? Good for nothing!!

No.3 is very true. It's a problem for me.

Granted that Fayose is clueless, daft, moronic and "tar-tar-nic" but what happened to his numerous advisers? Are they all stupid? This is a total disgrace!!!!

timmilehin:
Did Abacha died? when? I've been schooling in france since 1995

U be fool.

sojiboy:
I bet it, outside Oau Ile ife, no other tertiary institution in Nigeria can stand the architectural design of my Alma-mata. I heard a he-goat and a shepopotamus saying Gibberish about the school... I sympathize with their newest breed of stupidity

This must be a joke. That Poly in Ado is even finer. I visited both during my days in Ife. It used to be called UNAD then. Too terrible to be called a University.

babs01:
I graduated frm unad nd dts wat z in certificate ok? u can appeal dat or hug transformer

You are an illiterate. Which School is called UNAD? By the time the Federal Govt create a University in Ado Ekiti and call it UNAD, I guess everyone will be wondering how you graduated in a School created in 2017 seven years before it was created.

babs01:
I REP EKSU(UNAD)

Better wake up ! Only a Fed University will ever be called UNAD. It's EKSU!

Sorry guys. I'm Jobless ATM.



Is the guy using her or are they helping each other. Nothing wrong at all if it's the latter.



LMAO. Never trust a woman who tells you her age.
If a lady tells you her very secret, Biko, RUN.



Huh? It's her choice. And polygamy is allowed.



Now Is this even possible?



@Romeo & Juliet et: continue fighting for your love.
All is fair in love and in war. Never mind.



Give your virginity to your husband.
Not to someone with a bride price.



This is funny.
How can they both be bathing together, and at the same time, him taking secret shots?



They cook to eat too.
It's not like the guy is eating alone.



How do you know he's only deceiving her?
PDF is acceptable for lovers.

Don't mind the yeye Man of god.
