FIFA president Sepp Blatter has expressed his willingness to stand for a fifth term if he receives the backing of the member associations of soccer's ruling body.

According to Sport24, Blatter said that as he is good health, he does not see why he should think about stopping the work he has been doing as the president of the world football governing body.

Blatter further said that he is ready to be a candidate in the presidential race if the member associations ask him to.

Meanwhile, Blatter's former right-hand man Jerome Champagne has launched his campaign to dethrone his former boos with the backing of Brazilian legend Pele.
