Wow--Luis Figo Out Of FIFA Presidential Election Race----


For now the battle for the FIFA  presidency will be a two-horse race after Luis Figo withdrawing candidacy joined Michael van Praag who also withdrawing his candidacy on Thursday.



The football star Figo who agreed to run for president because 'FIFA needs change' and he feels that change is 'urgent', but said he had 'witnessed consecutive incidents' that 'should shame anyone who desires soccer to be free, clean and democratic'.

He said: 'I travelled and met extraordinary people who, though they recognised the value of much that had been done, also concurred with the need for change, one that cleans up FIFA's reputation as an obscure organisation that is so often viewed as a place of corruption.

'But over the past few months I have not only witnessed that desire (for change), I have witnessed consecutive incidents, all over the world, that should shame anyone who desires soccer to be free, clean and democratic.
