Greg Dyke has confirmed the Football Association will vote for Gianni Infantino at the FIFA presidential election on February 26. The UEFA general secretary is one of five candidates on the ballot to find Sepp Blatters replacement and has recently received the support of a number of European nations, with up to 40 set to vote for him.He became Europes leading candidate for the role when UEFA president Michel Platini was forced to end his campaign following an eight-year ban from all footballing activities imposed by the games governing body. Infantino is the FAs preferred candidate for FIFA president Infantino also has the support of UEFAs executive committee and appears to be the chief rival to favourite Sheikh Salman of Bahrain, president of the Asian Football Confederation.Dyke told Sky Sports News HQ the FA would oppose Sheikh Salman because of allegations Bahrain tortured pro-democracy footballers in 2011.Sheikh Salman denies the allegations and Dyke says he accepts the FIFA candidate was not involved, but he added: I dont think anyone from Bahrain should be president of FIFA, given what has happened in recent years.I spoke to every candidate either in person or on the phone. We were impressed by Gianni and by Prince Ali Al Hussein, but in the end we decided to go with the UEFA candidate. Greg Dyke is attempting to introduce modernising measures at the Football Association Its going to be a tough job for whoever wins. A reform programme is much more important than who is the president.Dyke is attempting to pass modernising reforms of his own at the Football Association and met with the organisations 123-strong council on Wednesday to discuss the plans.Among the proposals is a limit on the time council members can serve, and Dyke last month admitted the reforms might meet opposition. Sky Sports News HQ reporter Anton Toloui explains how FA chairman Greg Dyke plans to reform the FA But speaking to SSNHQ after Wednesdays talks, he said: It was a good day. Eventually well get change, it wont necessarily be everything, but I think well get change.It was always a consultative paper, we always wanted to know what the council thought about it.

Daniel Ricciardo is convinced his relationship with teammate Max Verstappen can stay competitive and healthy, even if they are title rivals in 2017.Verstappen was elevated to Red Bull from Toro Rosso ahead of the Spanish GP this year and won his debut race for the team. Ricciardo is yet to be out-qualified by Verstappen in their races together and could have won in Spain himself were it not for a Red Bull strategy blunder, before a botched pit stop cost him a nailed-on win in Monaco.Red Bull has confirmed the pair are under contract until 2018 and Ricciardo says the arrival of Verstappen has been beneficial to the whole team.Its hard to predict whats going to happen in the long run but I can obviously speak for the first few races, and its been good, Ricciardo said. Max came in and set a bit of a tone in Barcelona so that was obviously a pretty crazy weekend. Since then its been good.Monaco then didnt work as well for him, and he openly admitted it and took it on the chin. So weve thrived off the new challenge, the new rivalry, so hopefully it can keep pushing the team in the right direction.Red Bull is hoping 2017s regulation changes put the onus back on aerodynamics and elevates them into title contention. Ricciardo says respect between the two teammates will be key to ensuring such a rivalry does not get out of hand in that eventuality.Hopefully there is some rivalry as a rivalry would probably mean were fighting for victories more often, but sure you can still have a healthy one. I think if youre maature about it and just admit one guy is better on the day and be open about it, I think you will always have good respect for each other.dddddddddddd Its probably when you start making excuses out of nothing is when it doesnt work out too well so just keep going hard, and I think so far so good.Though Ricciardo is eight years older than his teammate, at 26 he remains one of the brightest young commodities on the grid. The Australian knows he could have achieved more in his time in Formula One but is in no doubts he is ready for a title tilt.In 2011 I got my chance and it was my dream come true, then you do a few races, and then youre like now I want to be with a better team, I want points, I want podiums, I want wins. Fortunately Ive been able to get some wins now, which is a big box ticked for me.Now its like, OK, I want the next best thing which is a world championship. In a way youre never satisfied but obviously thats good because Im still very young and hungry so that fuels my hunger, but sure Im happy. Obviously Im very grateful to be in this position.I think all of us appreciate to be in this position, all 22 of us that are here. It is awesome but you cant help but want more. I think Seb [Vettel] at my age already had his four titles. So when I look at Seb Im like uhh! Id obviously love to achieve more at this age but fortunately Ive got some time on my side I think. ' ' '
