Ginola To Challenge Blatter, Wants Combined W/Cup

Fifa presidential hopeful David Ginola wants the men’s and women’s football World Cups to be staged together.
The tournaments are currently hosted by different countries in different years.
However the 47-year-old Frenchman wants “one global spectacular” that he believes will take the World Cup and women’s football “to new heights”.
The former Tottenham winger is being paid £250,000 by a bookmaker to run for the top job held by Sepp Blatter at world football’s governing body.
To be eligible for any election, Ginola would need the support of five football associations and must show active involvement in football for two of the past five years.
Ginola feels “a lack of equality in football” is something that needs to be addressed.
He added: “Despite talented players, dedicated fans and far-reaching interest around the sport, women’s football continues to be limited by both attitudinal and financial discrimination. In this day and age, it’s just not good enough.
“One of the key ways we’ll make a difference is by adopting the Olympic model that sees all athletes compete under one banner, in one country, during one timeframe.”
The Team Ginola campaign is attempting to raise £2.3m to fund the challenge through contributions from the sponsor and supporters.
Nominations for the FIFA presidency close on 29 January.
Fifa vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and former diplomat Jerome Champagne, who joined FIFA in 1999, are the other candidates to announce they will stand.
Blatter, 78, has been FIFA president since 1998 and is seeking a fifth term in office.
