All four candidates for the Fifa presidency have been invited to take part in a live televised debate – and the Football Association chairman, Greg Dyke, has offered to host it at Wembley.

Sky and the BBC have written to the four candidates – current president Sepp Blatter, Fifa vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, Dutch FA president Michael van Praag and former Portugal international Luís Figo – inviting them to take part in the broadcast debate involving fans from around the world.

Dyke said he would welcome such an event and would help stage it if the quartet agreed.

He said: “I would love to see a leaders’ debate. I would love to see the four candidates for this election get in a room together and be questioned. We would happily host it at Wembley.”

Sky and the BBC have sent a letter to Blatter saying there is “significant interest” in the debate from his rival candidates. Figo and Prince Ali have previously stated they would be willing to take part in such a debate but Blatter is likely to be the sticking point.

A statement from Sky said: “Sky, in collaboration with the BBC, has invited all four candidates in the Fifa presidential election to take part in a live debate.

“We believe this will present an unprecedented opportunity for the candidates to set out their plans and communicate directly with fans from around the world. We hope for a positive response from all four candidates.”
