Summary FIFA President Sepp Blatter promised to reform football's global governing body, once re-elected.
Blatter, who is seeking re-election as FIFA president, said he wanted to restore the credibility of the organisation after accusations of mismanagement.Central to the proposal is changing the way future World Cup hosts are selected, and Blatter, 75, says he plans to adopt the same process as the International Olympic Committee uses to decide where to hold the Olympics.FIFAs decision to award the World Cup to Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 was heavily criticised, particularity in England and the US, which both submitted failed bids.One of the complaints from observers was that both decisions were made at the same time and while high-ranking FIFA members were either barred from voting or suspended.
