Henry becomes FIFA ambassador against racism

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has named Arsenal and France star Thierry Henry as one of FIFA's ambassadors against racism.

Blatter said that, while he was delighted that World Cup and Euro 2000 winning striker Henry was willing to perform the role, he was saddened that it was necessary.

"I am happy that a young man such as Thierry Henry is willing to perform such a duty," said Blatter.
