Nigeria’s Segun Odegbami Declares to Run for FIFA Presidency

Former Super Eagles player, Segun Odegbami, has declared his desire to run for the FIFA presidency.
The 63-year-old is the second African to go for football’s top job, after Liberia’s Musa Bility.

“Africa must play a big role in world football,” Odegbami said.
Candidates wishing to replace the outgoing Sepp Blatter have until 26 October to receive the backing of five Fifa members.

Elections will be held on 26 February, with Uefa chief Michel Platini and South Korea’s Chung Mong-joon among those to have already announced their bids.
