Asia backs Blatter

LONDON. — The Asian Football Confederation will support incumbent Sepp Blatter in the Fifa presidential election despite their vice-president Prince Ali’s decision to stand as a candidate.

Jordanian Prince Ali (39) joined Jerome Champagne as a rival to Blatter (78), who is seeking a fifth term of office.

AFC general secretary Dato Alex Soosay told BBC Sport its members had agreed to back Blatter at their 2014 congress. Football’s world governing body has suffered a number of corruption allegations during Blatter’s 17-year reign. — BBC Sport.
