Paris - Arsenal and France star Thierry Henry is to be one of Fifa's ambassadors against racism, revealed Fifa president Sepp Blatter on Monday.

Blatter told weekly magazine "France Football" that while he was delighted 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.

"I am going to name him Fifa ambassador against racism.

"However I am sad that racism has returned to football grounds," added the Swiss national, who admitted he would try for a third mandate in 2007 if he is in good health and the confederations wished him to.
