Bin Hammam confident

Mohammed bin Hammam, who is hoping to unseat Sepp Blatter as FIFA president, believes he is gaining more support by the day as his profile builds ahead of the June 1 vote in Zurich. "I started from zero and I believe that as of today I have the same chances as Blatter," said the Qatari head of the Asian Football Confederation.

Bin Hammam, trying to prevent his Swiss rival from securing a fourth term as the head of world football, said he would make sure the game's riches were more evenly distributed if he wins the election.
