Ex-France winger Ginola enters FIFA presidential race

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 a newspaper.

"It is time that football was refreshed," the newspaper quoted him as saying. "We have to be brave and deal with what is going on in this game we love.

"I'm not interested in dwelling on the sins of the past, this is about taking football forward and putting supporters at the centre of the game.

"Football belongs to the people and they deserve to have a voice. We want transparency so that everyone knows where every penny goes.
