Figo who is challenging for the FIFA presidency, said Monday that a new victory for incumbent
Sepp Blatter would mean four lost years.

Figo, who said he is financing his own campaign, added that nearly every football leader he meets declares a desire for change but he did not know whether federations would turn against Blatter.

If Blatter wins , it will be like losing four years of trying to modernise, trying to have more transparency because things will continue the same," Figo said.

"I am saying this to all the people I see in meetings and the feedback is positive.‎
Most people say we think we need change, but you have to wait and see on May 29 if really they want change, or they want to continue to be managed like this," added the 42-year-old former Barcelona and Real Madrid star.

All three opponents say they are standing because of FIFA's tarnished image after a storm of controversy over the award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

Figo, the Ballon d'Or winner in 2000, has promised more transparency and a greater say for national associations, as well as a 40 country World Cup.

Figo concluded by saying "Sometimes you are afraid of change and the most important thing
is to try to convince people that change is not a big deal.‎"
