World soccer boss Sepp Blatter said in Beijing on Saturday that football takes more than half of his life.

"I would say 66%," FIFA president said, when asked how much of his life was devoted to football and his family respectively.

"I have practically no time for my family, and I am again single now. But I have a fiancee, who is from FIFA. So my family is specifically made up of my daughter and granddaughter," he said.

"But my life is really football because football is not just kicking the ball. Football is more than that, football is part of our society, football touches all aspects, football is the school of life, football is philosophy, and I am working in this philosophy," he added.
