"Fifa's electoral committee has approved Sepp Blatter and his three rivals for the world governing body's presidential elections on 29 May.

A Fifa statement said all four had passed "integrity checks" and were eligible to stand for the presidency.

Dutch federation president Michael van Praag and Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al Hussein are standing against Blatter and ex-Portugal winger Luis Figo."



Well thats a relief. Good old Sepp has integrity and can stand for re-election ....... Hurrah

Makes you wonder if the "integrity check" is actually to make sure they HAVEN'T got any!

Who knows - they won't publish their criteria no doubt.

Is this a similar check to the fit and proper persons test? Which works so very well for football club owners.

I think it has one question "Are you a fit and proper person - Yes/No (delete as appropriate)"
