Hayatou vows transparency

AFP, Dubai
The team campaigning for African soccer chief Issa Hayatou's election as FIFA president said Tuesday the Cameroonian would bring much-needed transparency to the most powerful job in world football.
"Hayatou will bring a wind of change in the football family," vowed Mustapha Fahmy, secretary general of the African Football Confederationwhich Hayatou has headed since 1988.
Briton Glen Kirton, former Football Association (FA) spokesman and member of the campaign team, said Hayatou was "not a candidate for Africa but of transparency, openness and a new start for FIFA."
Hayatou himself failed to turn up for the Soccerex 2002 exhibition in the Gulf emirate of Dubai, "due to last-minute obligations in Africa" that included meetings with "very important heads of state," according to Fahmy.
The CAF chief would conduct himself differently from current FIFA president Sepp Blatter if elected on May 29 in Seoul, Kirton said.
"He will work with and through the executive committee, congress, the members of FIFA - the national associations - and the confederations.
"He will not operate in the style of the present incumbent which can only be decribed as executive president," not in touch with the administration on a day-to-day basis, he added.
Hayatou was urged to run against the beleaguered Blatter following a series of rows over the Swiss official's running of world football's governing body.
Blatter has been accused of covering up the true extent of losses suffered by FIFA following the collapse of the sport's body's marketing partner ISL last year.
He has also been the target of allegations of vote-buying during the last FIFA presidential election which he won four years ago.
On Hayatou's manifesto, Kirton said the African would "take steps immediately on his election to ensure a distribution of places in the World Cup on a fairer basis."
Europe would be left with 13 berths with an additional one to be played off with CONCACAF, which would retain three places. CAF's allocation would stay at five.
The 11-strong federation of Oceania however would receive an automatic berth for the first time, and Asia will be increased to five. But places for South American teams would be cut from four-and-a-half to three.
