Portuguese great Luis Figo has become the latest shock candidate for the role of Fifa president. The former Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan forward joins David Ginola in the race to replace Sepp Blatter as boss of world football's governing body, reports BBC Sport.
"Football has given me so much during my life and I want to give something back to the game," said Figo.
"I look at the reputation of Fifa right now and I don't like it. Football deserves better.
"In recent weeks, months, and even years, I have seen the image of Fifa deteriorate.
"As I speak to many people in football - to players, managers and association presidents - so many of those people have told me that something has to be done."
All potential candidates have to register their interest in standing before Thursday's deadline.
