Eric Wynalda set to stand for U.S. Soccer Federation presidency

Former United States international Eric Wynalda says he will run for the role of U.S. Soccer Federation president.

Wynalda, who won 106 caps and scored 34 goals for his country, will go up against Boston attorney Steve Gans for the position, while incumbent Sunil Gulati is also expected to stand along with former American Indoor Soccer League president Paul Lapointe and ex-U.S. international Landon Donovan.

Wynalda, who will need three nominations between now and early December to get on the ballot, confirmed to Soccer America's Paul Kennedy that he will enter the race.
