Former France winger David Ginola
will announce on Friday that he is entering the race to become
president of world football's governing body Fifa, The Sun reported on
Thursday.
But the ex-Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur player has no chance of winning the election and is unlikely to get the required number of nominations to officially enter the race.
Ginola, who turns 48 later this month, will become the third
candidate to announce he is standing after fellow Frenchman Jerome
Champagne and Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, according to The Sun
newspaper's website.
Swiss incumbent Sepp Blatter, who is odds-on favourite to secure a fifth election victory, will make his formal announcement to run again in the next two weeks.
