FIFA president Sepp Blatter could face a challenge for his position in May from Asian football supremo Mohamed Bin Hammam.


The news emerged tonight from the Korean tycoon Chung Mong-Joon, who lost his position as FIFA vice-president last month.


Chung revealed on his Twitter account that he lunched with Bin Hammam today and that a presidential challenge may be on the cards.



'It seems he will challenge the FIFA presidential election in June,' Chung said.


Bin Hammam is in a position of power after securing his country Qatar as hosts of the 2022 World Cup and retaining his position as Asian confederation president unchallenged.
