Sepp Blatter says the "survival of FIFA is at stake" in next month's presidential election.

Blatter also warned Friday that soccer's international governing body could "disappear into a black hole" if he is beaten by Mohammed bin Hammam for FIFA's top job.

"The ballot on 1 June could lead to a seismic shift with irreversible damage," Blatter said. "It is a question of whether the game's established world governing body will continue to exist after this date or whether it will disappear into a black hole."

Despite painting such a pessimistic vision of FIFA's future, Blatter is confident of being re-elected by its 208 national members.

"I will win the election with a clear two-thirds majority," he predicted. "South America, Central and North America, Europe, Oceania and a significant part of Africa and Asia will continue to support my ideas. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile outlining what the alternative would be, i.e. none at all."
