Platini inte med bland godkända Fifa-kandidater

Fifa har presenterat de fem kandidater som får ställa upp i organisationens presidentval – och Michel Platini är inte en av dem. Hans kandidatur kommer att ses över först efter hans avstängning.
Från Uefa-håll kandiderar Gianni Infantino, som så sent som på onsdagen sa att han inte kommer att ställa upp om Platini blir en av kandidaterna. Infantino tar plats på listan bredvid den jordanske prinsen Ali al Hussein, det asiatiska fotbollsförbundets ordförande Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim al Khalifa, fransosen Jerome Champagne och sydafrikanen Tokyo Sexwale.
Valet kommer att hållas på Fifa-kongressen 26 februari.

Jérôme Champagne (born June 15, 1958 in Paris) is a former French diplomat who served from 1983 to 1998, and then became a consultant in international football, serving as an executive at FIFA from 1999 to 2010. He transitioned from diplomacy to football as a result of the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he was Diplomatic Advisor and Chief of Protocol of the French organizing committee. He then joined FIFA where he successively held the positions of international adviser to the President (1999–2002), Deputy Secretary General (2002–05), Delegate of the President (2005–07) and finally Director of International Relations (2007–10) during the terms of President Sepp Blatter. He left FIFA in 2010 and became football commissioner for the World Festival of Black Arts in Dakar (2010) and an adviser to the Palestinian Football Federation (PFA) and the Palestine Olympic Committee (POC), the Football Federation of Kosovo, the Cyprus Turkish Football Federation (CTFA) and finally the Congolese football club TP Mazembe of Lubumbashi. Champagne was one of many wanting to challenge Blatter in FIFA's 2015 election for its presidency. He declared himself a candidate in September 2014, but withdrew in February 2015 after failing to get enough support. However, in October 2015 he declared himself a candidate for the 2016 election for the presidency following the the corruption investigation and Blatter's suspension. ^ "Jérôme Champagne confirms he will face Sepp Blatter for Fifa presidency".
