ESPN is calling FIFA presidential candidates on live TV debate

The biggest global sport channel ESPN invited all FIFA presidential candidates on TV debate which is scheduled to be shown on 29 January. As favorite man Platini now out of the picture, because of his ban recently of 8 years together with his 'teammate and partner' Sepp Blatter, only 5 names are running now for the FIFA's presidency top spot place: sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa (president of the Asian Football Confederation), Ali Bin Al-Hussein (Jordanian Prince), Mosima Gabriel Tokyo Sexwale (ex-minister of South Africa and businessman), Gianni Infantino ('home man' and currently UEFA's general secretary) and Jerome Champagne (former French diplomat). From the above 5 mentioned candidates, so far only the Frenchman has publicly accepted the TV confrontation. There is also report that Prince Ali's office has also received the invitation and that now he is assessing his travel schedule. Broadcaster ESPN is attempting to stage and transmit this live event from London.
After lots of corruption scandals around Sepp Blatter (and his team) who ruled fully 18 years, new FIFA president will be elected on 26 February.
