Uefa's Gianni Infantino enters Fifa presidential race



Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino entered the Fifa presidential race hours before Monday's deadline.
Infantino joined suspended Uefa boss Michel Platini in the bid to replace outgoing president Sepp Blatter, 79.
Asian Football Confederation president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa also confirmed his candidacy.
The deadline passed at 23:00 GMT on Monday, with nine candidates thought to be in the running, although Fifa has yet to confirm the shortlist.
All candidates had to obtain the written backing of five football associations under Fifa electoral rules, with Blatter - who like Platini is also banned - to be succeeded at an election on 26 February.
Infantino, who joined Uefa in 2000 and has been general secretary since 2009, joined the shortlist on Monday.
"I will in due course be setting out my detailed thinking in a manifesto which will address the challenges and opportunities ahead," said the 45-year-old Swiss.
"It will be based on the need for reform and also for a Fifa that genuinely serves the interests of all 209 national associations, big or small, and that puts football and football development at the top of its agenda.
"If elected I would lead that change in partnership with all who want to see a Fifa worthy of governing the world's number one sport with dignity and respect."
The AFC website  reported on Monday that Salman told the 47 AFC member associations his campaign will be entirely self-financed, and that he will not use the AFC's resources, human or otherwise, in the election.
Platini maintains he will stand despite Fifa saying it cannot recognise its vice-president's candidacy while his 90-day ban is in place.
To date, South Africa's Tokyo Sexwale, Prince Ali Bin al-Hussein of Jordan, former Trinidad and Tobago international David Nakhid, former Fifa deputy general secretary Jerome Champagne and Liberia FA president Musa Bility have said they have formally submitted their bids.
Fifa has confirmed it will hold the election to determine Blatter's successor at a special congress on 26 February, 2016.
Swiss Blatter and Frenchman Platini, 60, are suspended while Fifa investigates reports that a £1.35m payment was made in 2011 for work Platini did as Blatter's adviser.
Both men deny any wrongdoing and are appealing against their 90-day bans.

Infantino米歐聯抽籖之前係度講規則個位人兄

【now.com體育】國際足協會長選舉，8名候選人於周二正式出爐，巴西名宿薛高相信因未能獲得足夠的提名票而無緣競逐。

FIFA新會長的報名日期截止，新增了兩名候選人，分別是柏天尼副手恩菲天奴（Gianni Infantino）和利比里亞足總主席比利堤（Musa Bility），而被停職的歐洲足協會長柏天尼（Michel Platini）仍然榜上有名。

除了上述3人之外，還有約旦阿里王子（Prince Ali bin al-Hussein）、巴林的亞足聯主席薩曼（Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa）、南非反種族歧視鬥士塞斯華尼（Tokyo Sexwale）、法國人卓賓尼（Jerome Champagne）和千里達前隊長尼克特（David Nakhid），而韓國的鄭夢准就因禁令而宣佈退出。

換句話說，明年2月的選舉將會多達8人角逐，創下歷史新高，且來自歐洲、亞洲、非洲和中北美洲區域。

歐洲足協已經確定，一旦柏天尼能夠推翻裁決，仍會投票支持，若失敗的話，便會改為支持恩菲天奴。

Seven candidates will stand in Fifa's presidential elections on 26 February.
The candidates are: Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Musa Bility, Jerome Champagne, Gianni Infantino, Michel Platini, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa and Tokyo Sexwale.
Trinidadian ex-footballer David Nakhid was not included on the list, despite saying he had submitted his candidacy.
The election is to find a successor to the suspended Sepp Blatter, who is under criminal investigation.
The Swiss 79-year-old announced he would be stepping down in June, as world football's governing body was engulfed by a corruption scandal.

Who are the Fifa candidates?

Uefa president Platini is also suspended, but Fifa's electoral committee says it may allow him to stand if his ban ends before the election date.
Fifa and Swiss prosecutors are investigating reports that a £1.35m payment was made in 2011 for work Platini did as Blatter's adviser.
Both men deny any wrongdoing and are appealing against their 90-day bans.
All candidates had to obtain the written backing of five football associations under Fifa electoral rules.

FIFA確認主席競選名單 柏天尼無份

國際足協在周一正式確定主席的競選名單，名單包括約旦阿里王子、現任亞洲足協主席薩爾曼、歐洲足協秘書長恩芬天奴、南非富豪托基奧·塞克斯韋爾及FIFA前副秘書長尚彭，而因利益輸送醜聞被國際足協暫停職務的柏天尼則無緣角逐主席一職。選舉將於今年2月26日於瑞士蘇黎世舉行，與柏天尼一樣正被調查的白禮達自1998年起便一直擔任國際足協主席。

【now.com體育】國際足協會長選舉將於周五舉行，但候選人之一阿里王子突然要求暫停選舉。

約旦阿里王子（Prince Ali Bin Hussein）被視為新會長的有力挑戰者，但其代表律師周二表示，已要求國際體育仲裁法庭介入，叫停會長投票。

阿里王子早前建議FIFA，把投票箱改為玻璃製造，藉此避免「黑箱作業」，但被FIFA選舉委員會拒絕。不久，其代表律師表示，如選舉在不公平的情況下進行，不如暫時叫停。

FIFA要求投票者在投票時交出手機，認為足以達到公平公正的效果。新任會長將由209個成員國代表選出，取代因涉嫌貪污下台的白禮達，包括阿里王子在內，目前只剩下5名候選人。
