Figo on his way to FIFA PRESIDENT?
quikzyyy 10 years ago Edited

Luis Figo has entered the race to become FIFA president determined to change an organization he describes as all too often associated with "scandal."
The 42-year-old is renowned the world over after a distinguished 20-year playing career and arguably counts as the most credible threat yet to Blatter's 17-year stranglehold on soccer's top job.

Figo was twice voted world player of the year and represented Portugal 127 times, featuring at the World Cup in 2002 and 2006, as well as playing in three European Championships.


"If you search FIFA on the internet you see the first word that comes out: scandal -- not positive words. It's that we have to change first and try to improve the image of FIFA. Football deserves much better than this."

    • His work for Inter Milan and the Portuguese national team also means he satisfies FIFA's rule that states all candidates must have played an active role in association football for two of the five years. He has also been working on UEFA's Football Committee.

I really hope he will get that position.

At this point anyone is better than Blatter. Figo also has experience with football, so I doubt he will be anywhere close to being as corrupted as Blatter. I hope he wins.

I would be happy if Figo win it. FIFA is full of corruption these days, maybe Figo could "clean" it.

Whoever it is, the only thing I want is that he/she isn't corrupted like Blatter.

Blatter has paid the other candidates to pull off, what a f*cking cunt. Seriously this is the biggest issue we HAVE to fix, football is currently corrupted & something needs to be done. Many ppl have suggested that every1 need to leave FIFA and make new organization and I totally agree. FIFA IS CORRUPTED AS HELL.
