Monaco - Fifa official Tokyo Sexwale says he’s “weighing all options” before entering the governing body’s presidential election race.
The businessman and Fifa anti-discrimination task force member has support from some football officials to succeed Sepp Blatter.
Sexwale tells reporters “I am just applying my mind and I will make it up in due course.”
He says “the question does not arise at this stage of what my final decision will be in October.”
Fifa set an October 26 deadline for contenders to be nominated. The election is set for Febuary 26.
Michel Platini, the current favorite, holds his first news conference on Friday since launching his campaign last month.
Sexwale spoke during a Fifa conference call about leading a panel to improve Israeli-Palestinian football relations.
