FIFA will have a new president on February 26. After 18 years, Sepp Blatters controversial reign will come to an official end at the FIFA Congress in Zurich. Five candidates want to replace Blatter and become the most powerful man in world football, and whoever wins will become the ninth elected president in FIFAs 112-year history.The new president will be elected in a secret ballot of FIFAs 209 member associations, but Kuwait and Indonesia are banned, so there may be only 207 votes up for grabs.Africa has 54 votes, Europe 53, Asia 46, North and Central America and the Caribbean 35, Oceania 11 and South America 10. A candidate needs two thirds of the votes to win in the first round. In subsequent rounds, the candidate with the lowest number of votes drops out and a simple majority is required to win.During the past three months, Sky Sports News HQ has interviewed all five candidates - Sheikh Salman of Bahrain, Gianni Infantino, Prince Ali of Jordan, Jerome Champagne and Tokyo Sexwale.Over the next few days we are profiling each candidate, study their manifestos and assess their chances. We continue the analysis by looking at Tokyo Sexwale.Profile: Sheikh SalmanTOKYO SEXWALE:WHY IS HE STANDING?Sexwale says he is a reluctant candidate. He says he was asked to stand by FIFA insiders after Blatter announced he would resign last June.He describes himself as a FIFA man and he is well-connected in Zurich. FIFA has never had a president from outside Europe or South American and Sexwale says it is time for a black leader: Blacks have been warming the bench for 111 years. The score is 111-0. The time has come to decolonise football. It has been led for too long by white men. Re-distributing wealth to the poorest member associations is key for Sexwale WHAT ARE HIS CHANCES?Not good. His slim hopes of making any sort of impact rested on gaining the support of the African Football Confederation. Their executive committee announced on February 5 that they would be endorsing Sheikh Salman instead.Sexwale was expected to withdraw from the contest at that stage, but he remained defiant and insisted he would make it to Zurich on February 26.His campaign has been low key compared to some of the other candidates and it has been described by critics as lacklustre and low energy. There have been reports that his own South African Football Association was concerned by his failure to make any sort of impact.When asked to assess his own chances, Sexwale said: There is an element of risk. It is a zero-sum game.WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT WILL HE BE?As one of the richest men in South Africa and a former host of their version of The Apprentice he knows all about delegating responsibility. He says his No 1 choice for secretary general would be Gianni Infantino and he has always been open to doing deals with the other candidates during the campaign.He knows his way around FIFA, having served on the committee on racism and discrimination, and the media committee. He was also picked by Blatter for the sensitive role of chairman of the monitoring committee on Israel and Palestine. Tokyo Sexwale is a big Liverpool fan WHAT STANDS OUT IN HIS MANIFESTO? His manifesto is not as slick as the other candidates. Its most eye-catching proposal is allowing national teams to have commercial shirt sponsors.Under a Sexwale presidency, there would be a real chance of England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland playing with Vauxhall on their shirts.Sexwale justifies his proposal by pointing out that the majority of FIFAs 209 member are struggling financially and they need to raise funds. Re-distributing wealth to the poorest member associations is a key element of his 14-page manifesto.WHAT DOES HE THINK OF SEPP BLATTER?Sexwale says Blatter is his friend and he always stands by his friends. He stills speaks to Blatter on the telephone.He believes Blatter has transformed the game during his 40-year FIFA career: The work he has done is a monument and that monument cannot be moved. We need to have mercy in our hearts. I cannot celebrate another mans misfortune and misery. Sexwale says WHO DOES HE BLAME FOR THE FIFA CRISIS?Sexwale says FIFA is well run and he claims not a penny has gone missing. He blames FIFAs problems on rogue officials in the Americas.While that may apply to the US investigation into football corruption, it does not explain why the three most powerful men in world football - Blatter, Michel Platini and Jerome Valcke - have all been banned.According to Sexwale, we should put footballs problems into perspective: The damage done is for posterity. It is not like they have murdered someone or committed genocide. It is only a game. We are here to understand and carry on their good work and learn from their mistakes.WHO DOES HE SUPPORT?Sexwale has been supporting Liverpool since he was in prison for 13 years with Nelson Mandela on Robben Island. He watches all their games on television in South Africa, usually with one of his closest aides - a Manchester United fan.Profile: Sheikh SalmanWatch full coverage of the FIFA Presidential Election on February 26 on Sky Sports News HQ.

WARSAW, Poland -- Leading by two goals against a winless Polish struggler, Real Madrids players could be forgiven for letting their guard down.But Legia Warsaw seized the chance to fight back and the European titleholder had to muster a late goal to salvage a humbling 3-3 draw in the Champions League on Wednesday.Madrid looked set to romp to another big win after Gareth Bale netted an amazing opener from distance in the first minute before then setting up Karim Benzema to make it 2-0.But in a stunning turn, Madrid went from strutting powerhouse for 40 minutes to a team desperately needing midfielder Mateo Kovacic to score an equalizer with five minutes remaining.Madrids slack defense -- and over-confidence -- let Legia rally back in shocking fashion to take the lead. Vadis Odjidja and Miroslav Radovic struck from long range before Thibault Moulin also scored from outside the area in the 83rd.Madrid was facing a humiliating defeat until Kovacic fired in from near the edge of the box to at least rescue a point.Madrid substitute Lucas Vazquez almost turned the result back around when he sent a shot off the crossbar right before the final whistle.Though it was a memorable match for Legias players, the home fans werent there to see it.The game was played at a near-empty Wojska Polskiego Stadium as the club had been banned from selling tickets by UEFA following racist behavior and the throwing of fireworks by supporters during a previous loss to Borussia Dortmund.Madrid would have advanced to the round of 16 with a win as Dortmund beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in the other Group F match.Madrid has eight points, two points behind Dortmund and five ahead of third-placed Sporting. Legia earned its first point after losing its first three matches, including a 5-1 loss at Madrid.It was a strange match, it didnt go the way we wanted it to, Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said. We lacked a bit of everything. Above all, when you score two goals we dropped our intensity and when you do that they can score.Now we are going to forget this game.Denied any home support, Legia appeared to be ripe for another easy win for Madrid after conceding a competition-high 13 goals, while only scoring one, in its trio of previous defeeats.ddddddddddddIt was strange playing without spectators, but its no excuse. We are not happy with the result, Bale said. We had control of the game and lost concentration and, if you do this at this level, you get punished. We need to be better defensively and the chances we have we need to be more clinical. We can learn from this, be stronger from it.Zidane experimented with his starting lineup, playing both Benzema and Alvaro Morata up front together with Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, supported by two midfielders. He also gave some rare playing time to Fabio Coentrao in his injury-hit defense that was without Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo.But all that meddling backfired after Madrid lost its focus.There are many things to analyze, Zidane said. When you start out up two goals, there is a moment that you have to think more and play more as a team, and we didnt do that. We gave them too much space and, when you do that, the score can go against you.Yet the start couldnt have been better for the visitors.The sheer talent of Bale was on full display when he struck with his first touch of the match, blasting a left-footed volley from outside the box into the top corner of the net.A rout appeared to be on as Madrid poured forward and Bale passed for Benzema to double the lead in the 35th.Legia got some relief in the 40th when Odjidja dribbled through Madrids tame marking -- from Raphael Varane and Nacho Fernandez -- to the top of the box when he unleashed a strike that went in off the upright.But what seemed to be a consolation goal for the Poles turned into the spark of a comeback.Madrids defense was again at fault for not intercepting a move by Radovic. Bale let him dribble past and Varane failed to close him down before he stabbed a long strike under goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who should have done better.Moulin then had Legia on the verge of a memorable win when he took a nice reverse pass from Aleksandar Prijovic and struck the ball in off the post.But while Ronaldo and company remained ineffective, Kovacic stepped forward to score from Dani Carvajals nice back-heel pass.
