FIFA Election: The Eight Hopefuls In The Running To Succeed Sepp Blatter

Eight contenders are set to contest for the position of FIFA president by replacing Sepp Blatter, come February, 2016 as the FIFA presidency election takes place. However, our very own 63-year old Segun Odegbami couldn’t make it. Mr Segun has blamed the Nigeria Football Federation for his failure saying their help rather came too late to make him qualify.

Those that made it are; Michel Platini, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, David Nakhid, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale, Jerome Champagne, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa and Musa Bility.

So one of these people will be FIFA’s next president come 2016.
