Last term for Blatter

PARIS - Fifa president Sepp Blatter says his next term will be his last if he is re-elected in June.

Blatter is running for his fourth term but is facing the challenge of Qatar's Mohamed bin Hamman in the election to be held in Zurich, Switzerland.

"You know very well that I will aspire to another four years, those will be the last four years I aspire to," Blatter said at the Uefa congress yesterday.

Blatter has been running football's world governing body since 1998 and is facing his first challenge since Issa Hayatou took him on in 2002. Bin Hammam, the Asian Football Confederation president, is also attending the congress to lobby European federation presidents for their vote on June 1 in Zurich.
