Michel Platini: Uefa boss asked to stand for Fifa presidency - BBC Radio

Platini is said to have had assurances of support from his own confederation, Asia, South America, plus North and Central America and the Caribbean.
It is thought 60-year-old Platini has yet to decide if he will stand.


Fifa president Sepp Blatter said on 2 June he would stand down and on Monday will announce plans for reform of football's world governing body.


Blatter will hold talks with Fifa's executive committee over a date for the new presidential election, with 16 December earmarked by several regional football confederations as their preferred option.


The 79-year-old was elected for a fifth term as president on 29 May but four days later announced his intention to relinquish the post amid two corruption investigations.


Former Fifa presidential candidate Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, who lost to Blatter in the May election,has called for the Swiss to leave immediately.
