FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — FIFA president Sepp Blatter is promising wide-ranging reforms if he is re-elected, including changes to how future World Cup hosts are picked.
Blatter told a German newspaper he will set up a watchdog committee to supervise how FIFA works and “restore the credibility” of the governing body of world soccer.
Blatter says he would like to see future World Cup hosts selected in a way similar to how the International Olympic Committee chooses Olympic venues.
The 75-year-old Swiss is vying for his fourth term of office on June 1.
