FIFA President Sepp Blatter again hinted he plans to stand for another four-year term as the head of world football during a speech to Asian Football Confederation (AFC) delegate in which he called for more world cup places for Asian teams.
The 77-year old Swiss, speaking at the AFC Congress in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, was discussing his reform plans before he appeared to reveal he was not going to quit the presidency in two years time.
"This will be the last term of, not of office, the last term of the reform," Blatter said, smiling as he delivered the message.
Blatter went on to describe that the reform period, brought in to clear up the scandal-hit body that has seen members routinely banned on graft charges, would end in 2015.
The Swiss ignored reporter's requests to clarify his position after the Congress.
Blatter had previously said he planned to step down from office at end of his latest four-year term in 2015 but opened up a loophole in March by adding that providing he could find someone to carry on his legacy.
UEFA President Michel Platini, who watched on Thursday as Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa of Bahrain won the AFC Presidential election in a landslide, has long been tipped to replace Blatter.
Sheikh Salman said he was grateful for the backing Blatter had given the AFC and said he would reciprocate should the Swiss choose tn stay on.
"If he announces, of course," Sheikh Salman told reporters.
"He has always been a supporter of Asian football and if he can fulfill and continue as a President of course I'll support him."

I disagree because chelsea will win the day.

Sir Alex Ferguson looks set to make a solitary change from the team that faced Arsenal as Shinji Kagawa seems primed to replace Nani, operating off the left wing.
Ashley Young (ankle) is definitely ruled out while Nemanja Vidic (knee) and Danny Welbeck (calf) are also doubtful as the strains that ruled them both out of the Arsenal game persist.
Rafa Benitez, meanwhile, appears ready to make his now-customary changes to make way from team that beat Basel 3-1 on Thursday.
John Terry, Ashley Cole, John Obi Mikel, Juan Mata, Oscar and Demba Ba are all expected to replace Gary Cahill, Ryan Bertrand, Frank Lampard, Ramires, Victor Moses and Fernando Torres from the previous starting XI.
There are no serious injury problems for the Blues, though Marko Marin, unlikely to feature anyway, may only be fit enough for the bench as he continues to recover from thigh problem.

The Economic and financial Crimes Commission on friday declared former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Saminu Turaki wanted in connection with an alleged N36bn fraud.
The anti-graft agency declared him wanted following an order of a Fed. High court, Dutse, Jigawa State, which issued a warrant against him.

Born on July 14, 1963, Turaki served as Jigawa Governor from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2007.
Turaki was first arraigned by the EFCC before a Fed. Capital Territory High Court in 2007 on 32 counts misappropriating N36bn while in office.
The case was later transfered to Fed. High Court, Dutse after he challenged the jurisdictioo of the FCT Court.
He was subsequently re-arraigned on 32 counts at the Fed. High Court, Dutse, Jigawa State.
According to the EFCC, Turaki's last known address was No. 16, Dennis Osadebe str., Asokoro Vill, Abuja.
The commission implored anyone having useful information about the whereabouts of the former Governor to notify its offices in Kano, Gombe, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Lagos or report at the nearest Police Station.

The police in Lagos on friday arraigned a 33-year-old man, Victor Agyel, for allegedly stealing his girlfriend's ATM card and using it to withdraw her money, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Agyel, who resides at Afprint compound, Isolo Expressway, Isolo, Lagos, appeared before an Oshodi Magistrates' court in Lagos, on a count charge of stealing. The prosecutor, Cpl. Kehinde Olatunde, told the court that the accused committed the offence on Nov. 24, 2012 at No 2, Taiwa Koya st., Ilupeju, Lagos.
He said that the accused unlawfully used a stolen Eco Bank ATM card to withdraw N75,000 from the bank account of his girlfriend, one Miss Nsidibe William, a housekeeper. "The accused went to the complainant's house, took her ATM card without her consent, went to the ATM card machine and withdrew all her money," he said.
Olatunde said that the accused knew complainant's PIN because he always followed her to ATMs and assisted her to withdraw money anytime she needed it. "The accused used to assist the complainant to withdraw money because she is an illiterate and does not know how to use the ATM," he said.
Olatunde said that the offence contravened section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos state, 2011. The section provides that if convicted of stealing, an accused is liable to three years imprisonment.
However, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Mr Akeem Fashola, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety and adjourned the case till May 16 for mention.

The deed has been done and there's no way to turn back the hands of time. I was flushed with excitement when I heard my name was out to study my dreamt course in one of the universities in naija. Of all the seven days in a week, friday was the day I cherished so much as these thought would come into my mind, "thank God is friday", although I didn't take my studies for granted. Because of that, course registrations and school fees where doubled if not tripled in order to sustained me for some months or for the whole session. I didn't bother to sit down and considered what will happen after graduation while waiting for youth service. Today is the reverse as those benefits does not favour me any more and am no more friendly with fridays because of................graduate. Perhaps, I would've "make hay while the sun shines" by saving those monies. Please where you in my shoes and how did you come by it while waiting for youth service?
