Fifa presidential election to be held in February
POSTED 20 Jul 2015 . BY Tom Anstey
Sepp Blatter was re-elected as Fifa president on 29 May earlier this year, but announced his intention to stand down four days later
Fifa has announced an extraordinary congress will be held on 26 February 2016 to elect its new president.

Sepp Blatter was re-elected as Fifa president on 29 May earlier this year, but announced his intention to stand down four days later after scandal erupted relating to investigations into corruption within the world football body.

Candidates have to be nominated by 26 October, with names including David Ginola and Diego Maradona expressing their interest in the position. Uefa president Michel Platini is among the favourites, having been asked to stand for the presidency by a number of world football chiefs.

Meanwhile, there is speculation over Blatter’s future after he said he didn’t actually resign and could possibly stand in the February re-election.
