Fomer FIFA vice-president Mong-joon has thrown in his bid to replace Sepp Blatter as the president. - YAP CHEE HONG / The Star
StarSport: FIFA have never picked a non-European president. Do you think it will be different this time? Will the members opt for a change?
Dr Chung: All previous FIFA presidents have been Europeans, except Joao Havelange (Brazil) ... but he is also of European descent ... so the time has come to change this in FIFA. I want to tell this to my European friends ... Europe more or less has realised its football potential. It already enjoys enormous support. There is the European Championship every four years, Champions League, Europa League and the national leagues are very successful. The new president’s job is to focus more on development of other continents, which has been long overlooked.
