By Mike Collett MANCHESTER England (Reuters) – Sepp Blatter will stand for re-election as FIFA president next year, he confirmed on Monday. “Then I got (from) the last (FIFA) congress in Sao Paulo not only the impression but the support of the majority, a huge majority of national associations asking ‘Please go on, be our president also in future.’ “Now I would make an official declaration definitely in September (to stand)… when we have the executive committee. I will be a candidate.'” Last month Michel Platini ended speculation about his bid for the presidency when he said he would not stand for election – instead he will seek another term as the president of European soccer’s ruling body, UEFA. The only other declared candidate is the former FIFA deputy secretary general Jerome Champagne, although the candidacy deadline is not until January next year.
