European football body Uefa's executive committee has given its "unanimous support" to Sepp Blatter in the upcoming Fifa presidential elections.

And the committee, which includes former Football Association chairman Geoff

Thompson, has urged its 53 member associations to back Blatter.

Seeking a fourth term as president, the 75-year-old is standing against Asian football president Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The Fifa election is being held on 1 June in Zurich, Switzerland.

He'll stand down in 2015 if re-elected.
