Blatter: "Football is still macho."
In an exclusive interview ahead of FIFA's presidential election this month, incumbent Sepp Blatter has called football "macho" and says the women's game is "limping behind" that of the men's when it comes to marketing.
Blatter, who describes himself as "a little bit as a godfather of the organisation of women's football," criticised the heads of regional governing bodies for not promoting enough women into positions of power. Speaking to the 麻豆社's Caroline Rigby, he suggested changing the FIFA statutes in order to address the issue.
