Sepp Blatter hints at new FIFA presidential challenge

FIFA president Sepp Blatter admits that he would consider running for another term when his comes to an end next year.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has suggested that he could challenge Jerome Champagne for the candidacy next year in order to remain in charge for another term.

Blatter said that he would consider putting himself forward again should he remain in good health, and if other member associations ask that he does.

"If I have the health - and currently I am in good health - I don't see why I would stop the work," Blatter told Swiss radio station RTS.

"A work which continues. FIFA needs consolidation. Many people say it needs to be continued. I will not shout 'I'm candidate' but if the member associations ask it to me, then I will not say no."

Blatter, 78, has been FIFA president since 1998.
