RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Former Brazil star Zico says he wants to run for the presidency of FIFA.
The 62-year-old former playmaker said Wednesday that ''there's a possibility now for change.''
FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced his resignation last week, amid separate investigations by the U.S. and Swiss authorities into alleged bribery and corruption involving the 2010, 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
FIFA said Wednesday its executive committee would meet next month to choose an election date. All 209 FIFA member federations will vote for a new president, with the current favorite being Michel Platini, the head of Europe's governing body UEFA.
