Nigeria's Segun Odegbami unveils FIFA presidential bid



Former Nigeria international Segun Odegbami has announced his intention to become the next FIFA president.

The 63-year-old, who won the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations as a player, is the second African to go for football's top job, after Liberia's Musa Bility.

"Africa must play a big role in world football," Odegbami told BBC Sport.

Candidates wishing to replace the outgoing Sepp Blatter have until 26 October to receive the backing of five Fifa members.

Elections will be held on 26 February, with Uefa chief Michel Platini and South Korea's Chung Mong-joon among those to have already announced their bids.
