FIFA presidential candidate Luis Figo has backed calls for a television debate ahead of the election.
All four candidates for the top job in world football have been invited to take part in a live TV debate, with English FA chairman Greg Dyke offering to host it at Wembley.
Figo's proposal for a 48-team World Cup may not have gained the traction he would have hoped for in many circles, but he's likely to meet with a warmer reception with his latest position.
"The football community deserve to know what all four Presidential candidates offer for the future," the Portuguese tweeted this afternoon.
"I fully support the idea of a public debate between the candidates as proposed by the BBC and Sky."
