The FIFA Presidential election might be hotter than we expect. This is because, the President of the European Football Association (UEFA), Michel Platini, has confirmed he will also run for FIFA presidency.


The 60-year-old former France and Juventus midfielder declared his bid after receiving indications of support from four continental confederations.


Liberian Football Association head Musa Bility had also announced his intention to enter the contest to replace Sepp Blatter. The election takes place on 26 February.
