Another candidate has put himself forward as a challenger to FIFA president Sepp Blatter for this year's leadership elections.

Dutch Football Association president Michael van Praag will run as a candidate.

Van Praag spoke out against Blatter during the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil and his decision to stand for another term in charge of football's world governing body.

He joins the likes of ex-Tottenham and Newcastle winger David Ginola, former FIFA official Jerome Champagne and Jordanian FA chief Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein on the declared list of candidates so far.

Thursday is the deadline for potential candidates to be nominated by five of FIFA's 209 member federations.

The ballot will be held in May.
