Mino Raiola announced his intentions to participate in this year's FIFA presidential elections. One of the best agents, the Dutchman represents footballers such as Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Mario Balotelli, Gregory van der Wiel, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Raiola believes that the football agency in the world is in great need of change. "I have been criticizing FIFA for several years, so it's time to take action. I tolerated Blatter and FIFA's view on the game for quite a long time. I feel bad just thinking that Blatter could be re-elected," the agent told VI. "FIFA should represent fans, professional footballers, and amateurs, but these three groups are not a priority for the organization." "How can you organize a World Cup in South Africa and ask for €150 for a ticket? It's a shame. FIFA wants to throw a party at someone else's house and demands a huge entrance fee, while the homeowner gets nothing. This has to stop." "It's completely incomprehensible how federations still vote for Blatter. If people vote for him - they choose North Korea, if they vote for me - South Korea." Raiola also said that in case of failure, he would run for candidacy again in four years. Without Blatter, he will also have to defeat the candidacies of Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and Jerome Champagne.
