Detractors must unite to oust Blatter - Van Praag


AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The only chance of unseating Sepp Blatter and reforming the governance of world football is to unite all those unhappy with his leadership, Dutch FA chief Michael Van Praag said after he dropped out of the FIFA presidential race.

Van Praag and his rival, former Portuguese international Luis Figo, threw their backing behind Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein on Thursday after concluding that he had the best chance of unseating Blatter, who is running for a fifth term.
