The BBC has abandoned plans to stage a televised debate with the five candidates vying for the presidency of soccer's scandal-plagued governing body Fifa after one declined to take part and others imposed conditions. The BBC highlighted a comment on Twitter by presenter Victoria Derbyshire:"We've pulled our live head-to-head TV debate w[ith] Fifa presidential hopefuls. After one declined, some others wanted to, um, move the goalposts."Five candidates are bidding to replace Blatter: Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein of Jordan, South African politician and businessman Tokyo Sexwale, UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino, Sheikh Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa of Bahrain and Frenchman Jerome Champagne.They could not immediately be reached for comment apart from Champagne, who said he had been told that the debate had been cancelled.Plans for another planned televised debate, due to be held at the European parliament in Brussels on Wednesday and broadcast by U.S. sports network ESPN, collapsed after Prince Ali and Sexwale withdrew at 48 hours' notice.That left Champagne as the only candidate present.No televised debate has ever been held in a FIFA presidential election.British broadcasters BBC and Sky made a similar proposal before the vote in May last year but Blatter, who won that election against Prince Ali, turned down the invitation.The FIFA president is chosen by the 209 national football associations which are affiliated to it, each holding one vote.Critics say the system leaves the other stakeholders, including supporters, players, clubs and the media, effectively sidelined from the election. ..
