Zurich – Fifa President Sepp Blatter says he will attend each congress of football's six continental confederations before he stands for re-election in June.

In his year-ending message, Blatter says meeting Fifa’s national members in person will help set “a strategic course for the future.”

Blatter is seeking a fourth four-year term in office and says football leadership is a key focus for Fifa in 2011.

The first scheduled congress is January 6 when the Asian Football Confederation meets in Doha, Qatar.

The Oceania body then meets January 15 in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

Blatter is scheduled to stand for re-election June 1 at Fifa's congress in Zurich.

Challengers must be nominated by one of Fifa's 208 members at least two months before the vote. – Sapa-AP
