Sepp Blatter has criticised UEFA for not putting someone in the running to challenge his FIFA presidency.
The 78-year-old is hoping to be re-elected later this year for a fifth term, but many have called for a change following allegations of corruption regarding recent World Cup bids.
UEFA president Michel Platini has openly called for Blatter to be replaced, but is not running himself, while Jerome Champagne, Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and David Ginola have all been named as candidates.
"All those who want to get rid of me should come," Blatter told CNN World Sport. "All this opposition is coming now, It's unfortunate to say, but it's true, it's coming from Uefa. They don't have the courage to come in. So let me go [on] - be respectful."
The FIFA president will be elected in May.
