UEFA President Michel Platini Tuesday said he would decide whether or not to run for FIFA presidentcy "during or after the World Cup in Brazil."

The FIFA election is in May 2015, and President Sepp Blatter could yet seek a fifth term in office.

Platini, who has been the president of European football's governing body since 2007, is seen as a leading candidate to succeed Blatter.

Platini made the remarks ahead of UEFA's 54 member federations and its executive committee which will begin a four-day gathering in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
