Sepp Blatter has confirmed he will stand for re-election as FIFA president as he hopes to serve a fifth term. The 78-year-old, who was first elected in 1998, is serving his fourth term and was elected unopposed in 2011 after his rival Mohamed Bin Hammam withdrew. While he said then that would be his last term as president, he has reconsidered and said in a video interview broadcast at the Soccerex Convention in Manchester: I will be ready. I will be a candidate to stand for fifth term as president. My mission is not finished. Michel Platini has already said he will not challenge Blatter and will instead run for re-election as UEFA president.
