Platini to stand for FIFA presidency

Michel Platini is to stand as a candidate for the presidency of world football's governing body, FIFA, UEFA announced on Wednesday.

The announcement ends weeks of speculation over whether the 60-year-old Frenchman would stand in the election to find a successor to the beleaguered Sepp Blatter on February 26 next year.

Blatter announced his resignation shortly after being re-elected as president in June with scandal-hit FIFA's reputation in tatters.
