Ginola wants men's and women's World Cup staged together

Surprise FIFA presidential hopeful David Ginola wants the men's and women's World Cups to be staged together.

The Frenchman says the women's game is subject to "attitudinal and financial discrimination", and that an Olympic model should be adopted.

The ex-Newcastle and Tottenham player is being paid by bookmaker Paddy Power to run for the top job at football's world governing body.

"We want the women's World Cup to be organised and played right after the men's World Cup. For example, it would have been in Brazil using the structure of the men's World Cup. It would be interesting to see how we can set this up," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
