In the biggest challenge yet to Sepp Blatter, Dutch football association leader Michael van Praag entered the FIFA presidential election race on Monday. Van Praag became the first would-be Blatter opponent to announce he has the required nominations from five of FIFA's 209 member federations. ''It's widely known that I'm very worried about FIFA,'' Van Praag said in a statement. Last June, he told Blatter in Brazil that ''people tend not to take you very seriously anymore.'' ''People link FIFA to corruption and bribery and all kinds of old boys' networks,'' Van Praag told reporters in Sao Paulo last June after he and other senior European football officials confronted Blatter at a UEFA meeting.
