LONDON - FIFA president Sepp Blatter is facing a challenge for his position from his most likely opponent-Asian football supremo Mohamed Bin Hammam, the Qatari who delivered a stunning victory for his country in the contest to host the 2022 World Cup.

According to the Daily Express, Bin Hammam refused to rule out standing for president and has been angered by Blatter announcing a plan to introduce an anti-corruption committee without first running the proposal by executive committee members.

“Some of FIFA’s acts I do not approve of or agree. FIFA need a lot of improvement,” said Bin Hammam.

Blatter has also come under attack from Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness, who has claimed that he “has lost control” of FIFA. (ANI)
