The head of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Mohamed Bin Hammam, has ruled out running for the FIFA presidency in 2011, saying he will back Sepp Blatter for another term as head of soccer's world governing body.

The AFC chief says most Asian federations also feel the same way.

Sepp Blatter, from Switzerland, became president in 1998 and was re-elected as head of FIFA for another four-year term in an uncontested poll last year.
