Michel Platini will not challenge Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency a move which effectively gives Blatter a free run at a fifth term in office.

Womens Shoes Black Grape 5s remain of the view that Sepp Blatter has served his time in FIFA but the reality is Michel Platini was the strongest European candidate and we absolutely respect his decision not to stand.

Platini however expressed alarm to UEFA delegates in Monaco about Blatter’s plans to shake up the World Cup places and said that rather than accept any cut he will argue for Europe’s number of places to be increased from 13 to 15 for 2018 including hosts Russia and reigning world champions Germany.
