FIFA President Sepp Blatter has accused UEFA of not having the courage to challenge his leadership, despite opposing it.
Sepp Blatter, who has been in charge of FIFA since 1998, will be standing in the presidential elections for the fifth time, though there has been a certain degree of opposition from UEFA; something that Blatter is visibly annoyed with.
“They want to get rid of me,” he told CNN.
“I have been asked by the national associations to be our candidate again because nobody that is strong was in. So I go there.” Blatter told CNN World Sport.
“All those who want to get rid of me should come. All this opposition is coming now, it’s unfortunate to say – but it’s true – it’s coming from Nyon, from Uefa. They don’t have the courage to come in. So let me go [on] – be respectful.”
As of now, the candidates that will be going up against him in the upcoming elections are Jerome Champagne, Prince Ali and David Ginola.
