 YORK, January 25 report:

Doha local time 24, AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam called for FIFA president Sepp Blatter once again after class, suggesting that he will join another candidate participate in this year's FIFA presidential election in June, jointly challenge to Blatter.

as Harman himself, in fact he is quite a the ultimate goal. AFC general election early in January, playing with toys lost the FIFA vice-president Chung Mong-joon of the position. Chung Mong-joon said after returning to the campaign, FIFA President, and was the first time Harman's support. After the two together, in theory, the basic insurable Asia 45 votes. It can be said, the two different objectives, interests also vary. The more in such circumstances, the more likely to get together.

FIFA for this year's election of chairman, Chung Mong-joon, said in an interview, healthy development, this election is also of great significance. However, Chung Mong-joon for the campaign are very concerned about all aspects.

74-year-old Blatter took over in 1998 was elected FIFA president Joao Havelange, who govern in this position for 24 years. In 2002, Blatter to face a strong challenge to get lucky the first time for re-election in 2007, is not controversial re-election. Now, Blatter already know they were going to face a challenger from Asia. Early last year, Harman announced its withdrawal from AFC President Qataris running for the President of FIFA, and now, the Asian forces are assembled to the seat prepared to attack the highest FIFA.


Harman said there should be a positive change in FIFA, FIFA President should first stop the indefinite re-election, session, not just in football, in other sports should also be the case. When you get older, your own mind, great changes will occur, can no longer work as a young man then, gradually you will lose creativity, FIFA needs new blood and air, and this is my philosophy. Chinese Football Association of the votes cast in the end who still hesitate, the Football Association still immersed in the AFC defeated the election defeat and the national football double pain. Harman board seat if the benefit of FIFA and AFC Football Association of China. First, he will automatically step down the FIFA executive committee places, so the addition of Asia, in fact, a FIFA executive committee places. Meanwhile, the AFC there are vacancies in place of the Chairman, Vice-President Zhang Jilong AFC certain campaign possible.
