African Football Confederation head Issa Hayatou arrived at Incheon International Airport early Saturday, to attend the upcoming FIFA Congress and the opening of the World Cup in Seoul next week. Hayatou expressed the opinion at a news conference, that Asia and Africa are relatively underestimated by FIFA and expressed confidence that he will beat incumbent FIFA boss Sepp Blatter in the election as he has gained support from "many friends." Hayatou is the sole challenger to Blatter's bid for the FIFA presidency, at the congress Wednesday.
