GENEVA -- China aims to build its growing influence at FIFA by fielding a candidate in Asian elections for new seats on the world soccer bodys ruling council that were created during anti-corruption reforms.The Chinese soccer federations general secretary, Zhang Jian, is competing against candidates from Iran, Qatar and Singapore for two vacant FIFA seats in a Sept. 27 vote.The Asian Football Confederation said Friday that all four men, plus three female candidates seeking a seat guaranteed for women, have passed integrity checks by FIFA to stand for election by its member federations meeting in Goa, India.Zhangs rivals are: Ali Kafashian Naeni of Iran; Saoud Al Mohannadi of Qatar; Zainudin Nordin of Singapore.The elections are the first to send Asian delegates to FIFAs ruling committee since Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group signed as a World Cup sponsor through 2030 in March.The firm said then that becoming a top-tier sponsor, paying FIFA hundreds of millions of dollars, left it better placed to help decide which countries host future World Cups.China would next be eligible to host at the 2030 tournament. Because Qatar is hosting the 2022 World Cup, Asian bidders are excluded from a 2026 race expected to include the United States and Canada.The 2030 decision should be in a vote of all FIFAs member federations from a shortlist agreed by the ruling council -- a rebranded version of the much-criticized executive committee which used to pick World Cup hosts.Creating the council and giving World Cup hosting votes to all members are among FIFA reforms agreed in recent rounds of modernizing changes provoked by bribery scandals and World Cup voting allegations since 2018 host Russia and Qatar were picked in 2010.Another reform is a guaranteed council seat for a woman from each of the FIFAs six continental confederations.The AFC said Friday that its three candidates are: Moya Dodd of Australia; Mahfuza Ahkter of Bangladesh; Han Un Gyong of North Korea.Dodd, a lawyer and former international player, has helped raised the profile and influence of womens soccer as a co-opted FIFA executive committee member since 2013.FIFA gave its confederations a September deadline to hold elections for female delegates ahead of the next council meeting.President Gianni Infantino will chair a first session of the expanded 37-member panel on Oct. 13-14 in Zurich.Among the other Asian candidates, Nordin is president of the Singapore federation and Qatars Al Mohannadi is making a second bid after failing to win election in April 2015.Fake NFL Jerseys Discount .

Fake Nike NFL Jerseys . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.Fernando Alonso is sure there is more to come from McLaren after the opening day of practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.Alonso finished 11th in FP2, one place behind teammate Jenson Button, in a session disrupted by rain. The pecking order is still unclear going in to Saturday and Alonso is convinced the team will be more competitive come qualifying on Saturday.?Theres more to come from us because today was just a test day, Alonso said. There were new parts to try, some worked in a positive way, others didnt work that well, so when well put the best parts in the car on Saturday I think we can be quite competitive. Im quite happy with the way today went, all in all.Alonso was running a revised McLaren rear wing on Friday and he says the day was useful for aerodynamic tests, althouggh its data was restricted by the afternoon shower.ddddddddddddWe learned less than on a normal Friday because we had less track time, but it was the same for everyone. But we still did quite a few tests, with new aerodynamic parts on top of the normal tyre testing, so now it will be a matter of analysing all the work we did with both cars and choose the best solutions for tomorrow and Sunday.In the end we completed the entire program with the exception of the long run with the ultrasoft tyres, because of the time lost to the rain, so tomorrow morning well do a few laps with a heavy fuel load - Im sure other teams will do the same - to learn a bit more.
