Luis Figo has entered the race to
become FIFA president determined to change an organization he describes as all
too often associated with "scandal."..
The former Real Madrid and Barcelona
star revealed his intention to run against Sepp Blatter in an exclusive
interview with CNN Wednesday.
The 42-year-old is renowned the world
over after a distinguished 20-year playing career and arguably counts as the
most credible threat yet to Blatter's 17-year stranglehold on soccer's top job.
Figo was twice voted world player of
the year and represented Portugal 127 times, featuring at the World Cup in 2002
and 2006, as well as playing in three European Championships.
"I care about football, so what I'm seeing regarding
the image of FIFA -- not only now but in the past years -- I don't like
it,"
CNN
