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.

Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season.TORONTO -- After introducing his choice to revive the Raptors, new Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment boss Tim Leiweke turned his attentions to Toronto FC. In a video message to fans that was posted on YouTube and sent to season ticket-holders, the MLSE president and CEO promised action on the struggling MLS team. "I know that we havent had a good run of it lately here. I completely understand your frustration and its well deserved," he said. "Were going to fix that." Leiweke says TFC has the resources to recreate what the Los Angeles Galaxy -- one of the teams that fell under his auspices at his last job -- did en route to back-to-back championships. "That means if we could go out and find the kind of designated playeers that we had in L.dddddddddddd.A. -- Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane and David Beckham -- well do that here. Our owners have made that commitment. But we need to deliver results to you. I get it. Its been frustrating to see the energy and the passion you created when this franchise was introduced and then to see the results today." "You deserve a championship team," he added. The message was not like previous mea culpas from the likes of MLSE COO Tom Anselmi. The MLS club has had lots to apologize for. Toronto (1-7-5) has gone through eight managers in seven seasons and has never made the playoffs. The video message comes in the wake of Leiweke introducing Masai Ujiri as the Raptors general manager on Tuesday. ' ' '
