Bin Hammam vows to bring more transparency to FIFA

NICOSIA - FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam has vowed to bring more transparency to soccer's world governing body amid fresh corruption claims before next month's leadership vote.

FIFA has been beset by allegations of corruption in the run-up to the June 1 election, when Bin Hammam will challenge former ally Sepp Blatter, who is seeking a fourth and final four-year term.

And Bin Hammam, president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), denied FIFA was a corrupt organization but one more in need of dynamic new leadership.
