Ramon Vega made 23 appearances for Switzerland between 1993 and 2001 Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Ramon Vega says he intends to stand as a candidate in next year's Fifa presidential election.
1993年至2001年间，拉蒙·维加为瑞士队出场23次 前托特纳姆热刺队后卫拉蒙·维加表示，他打算作为候选人参加明年的国际足联主席选举。
The 55-year-old is the first person to confirm they want to challenge Gianni Infantino, who has defied calls to step down in the wake of his failed plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors, which has sparked a major backlash across football.
这位 55 岁的球员是第一个确认要挑战詹尼·因凡蒂诺的人。因凡蒂诺在向私人投资者出售世界杯股份的计划失败后，无视了要求他下台的呼声，这在整个足坛引发了强烈反对。
A former Switzerland centre-back, Vega also played for Celtic and Watford and has worked in finance since retiring from football in 2004.
作为前瑞士中后卫，维加还曾效力于凯尔特人队和沃特福德队，自 2004 年退役以来一直从事金融工作。
"I am standing to reunite the global football family, deliver genuine and lasting reform, modernise Fifa for the 21st Century, restore stability and credibility, and rebuild the trust that our game urgently needs," he said.
他表示：“我致力于让全球足球大家庭重新团结起来，进行真正持久的改革，实现 21 世纪国际足联的现代化，恢复稳定和信誉，并重建我们的足球运动迫切需要的信任。”
Meanwhile, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa - president of the Asian Football Confederation - has written to Infantino, distancing himself from an external review of Fifa's governance system.
与此同时，亚洲足球联合会主席谢赫·萨勒曼·本·易卜拉欣·阿勒哈利法已致信因凡蒂诺，表示不参与对国际足联治理体系的外部审查。
In his letter - seen by BBC Sport - Sheikh Salman proposes that Fifa's council sets up a working group to examine potential reforms, "rather than being outsourced to an external party".
英国广播公司体育频道看到谢赫·萨勒曼在信中建议国际足联理事会成立一个工作组来研究潜在的改革，“而不是外包给外部机构”。
Last month, Infantino said he was "fully committed to leading Fifa" despite Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation calling for him to quit.
上个月，因凡蒂诺表示，尽管欧足联、中北美及加勒比地区足联和亚洲足联要求他辞职，但他“完全致力于领导国际足联”。
Vega considered running for Fifa's top job in 2015 following the suspension of former president Sepp Blatter.
2015年，前主席塞普·布拉特被停职后，维加曾考虑竞选国际足联主席。
Four years later he said he would stand against Infantino, but failed to garner enough support to be included in the ballot, having required the backing of five of Fifa's 211 member federations.
四年后，他表示自己将反对因凡蒂诺，但未能获得足够的支持来参加投票，因为需要国际足联 211 个会员协会中五个的支持。
Candidates must also be proposed by a member association and played an active role in the game for two of the past five years, as well as passing an eligibility check by a review committee.
候选人还必须由会员协会推荐，并在过去五年中有两年在比赛中发挥积极作用，并通过审查委员会的资格审查。
"I am standing because my life has prepared me to serve the game," Vega said in a statement announcing his candidacy.
维加在宣布参选的声明中表示：“我站起来是因为我的生活已经让我做好了为这项运动服务的准备。”
"Football does not belong to presidents, confederations or administrators.
“足球不属于总统、联合会或管理者。
Football is greater than any position, any individual or any institution. "It is the people's game and belongs to everyone: the players, coaches, referees, supporters, volunteers, clubs, leagues, associations and communities that give football its life.
足球大于任何职位、任何个人或任何机构。 “这是人民的运动，属于每个人：球员、教练、裁判、支持者、志愿者、俱乐部、联赛、协会和社区，赋予足球生命。
"It belongs to every child discovering the game, every professional carrying the hopes of a nation, and the billions of supporters whose passion makes football the world's game.
“它属于每一个发现这项运动的孩子，每一个承载着一个国家希望的专业人士，以及数十亿的支持者，他们的热情使足球成为世界运动。
"Football must always come first.
“足球必须永远放在第一位。
Yet for too long, division has fractured our football family. "The current leadership has demoralised the game.
然而，长期以来，分裂已经导致我们的足球大家庭四分五裂。 “目前的领导层已经使比赛士气低落。
Weak governance has damaged Fifa's credibility and eroded trust across the global football family. We must stop this conflict from escalating. "Ego-driven battles within football administration must never be allowed to damage those who matter most: the players, coaches, referees and supporters around the world.
治理不力损害了国际足联的信誉，并侵蚀了全球足球大家庭的信任。 我们必须阻止这场冲突升级。 “决不能允许足球管理内部的自我驱动的斗争损害最重要的人：世界各地的球员、教练、裁判和支持者。
They are not responsible for these conflicts. They deserve better." Vega concluded: "Football is in the emergency room, on life support.
他们对这些冲突不负有责任。 他们值得更好。” 维加总结道：“足球是在急诊室里，靠生命维持。
We cannot wait any longer. Fifa needs a new direction and fundamental reform. "We must reunite the football family, restore trust, bring stability and modernise Fifa's governance.
我们不能再等了。 国际足联需要新的方向和根本性的改革。 “我们必须让足球大家庭重新团结起来，恢复信任，带来稳定并实现国际足联治理的现代化。
This requires decisive change - not cosmetic adjustments." Infantino should have no place in future of football - Pinto It comes with Sheikh Salman appearing to soften his stance towards Infantino just two months after the AFC president signed a joint letter with the heads of Uefa and Concacaf accusing the Fifa president of breaking trust "through deception" over his Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan.
这需要决定性的改变——而不是表面上的调整。” 平托：因凡蒂诺在足球的未来中不应该有一席之地 就在两个月前，亚足联主席与欧足联和中北美及加勒比地区足联主席签署联名信，指责国际足联主席因凡蒂诺的国际足联前进企业（FFE）计划“通过欺骗”破坏了信任。两个月后，谢赫·萨勒曼似乎软化了对因凡蒂诺的立场。
At the time, the three confederations said any review of Fifa's governance must be "conducted by a fully independent third party".
当时，三个联合会表示，对国际足联治理的任何审查都必须“由完全独立的第三方进行”。
Now, however, Salman says he believes the process should be "driven by the football institutions themselves, rather than being outsourced to an external party".
然而现在，萨尔曼表示，他认为这一过程应该“由足球机构本身推动，而不是外包给外部机构”。
He added: "I believe there is value in taking this opportunity to consider constructively whether Fifa's existing governance arrangements can be strengthened.
他补充道：“我相信借此机会建设性地考虑国际足联现有的治理安排是否可以得到加强是有价值的。
"The issue is not necessarily whether this requires a wholesale redesign of Fifa's governance system."
“问题并不一定在于这是否需要对国际足联的治理体系进行全面的重新设计。”
Fifa's council meets in Zurich next week for the first time since the FFE plan emerged in July.
自 7 月份 FFE 计划出台以来，国际足联理事会将于下周在苏黎世召开首次会议。
