In a statement posted on his FaceBook page, the former Fifa world player of the year and retired Portuguese winger says we should count him out of what he says is a referendum “for the delivery of absolute power to one man.”
Figo continued: “That is why, after a personal reflection and sharing views with two other candidates in this process, I believe that what is going to happen on May 29 in Zurich is not a normal electoral act.
“And because it is not, don’t count on me.”
Figo’s announcement came hours after president of the Dutch Football Federation Michael van Praag – another of the four proposed candidates- also withdrew.
