Blatter to stand for fifth Fifa term – England not supportive

Blatter’s decision is not universally welcomed.

Sepp Blatter (78) has confirmed he will stand as Fifa president for a fifth term next year despite repeatedly denying that he would do so. Blatter claims that the support expressed by most national associations at Fifa’s congress in São Paulo made him reconsider. Several Fifa members, including England, state that they will not support his re-election.
