 Champagne, needing the backing of five national associations for
his bid, said in a statement that he had won the backing of only
three.
The Frenchman said he had lost sponsorship after former Portugal
forward Luis Figo and Dutch FA president Michael van Praag announced
last week they would stand.
Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein of Jordan, a FIFA executive committee
member, also announced early last month he was in the race to unseat
Sepp Blatter.
"The institutions have mobilized to eliminate the only independent
candidate," said Champagne, who has campaigned against what he says
is growing inequality in the sport.
"The latest events orchestrated in secret... distributing letters of
support between candidates, made me lose sponsorships especially in
Europe.
 "I also note that I would have been a candidate with the old version
of the rules, and that I cannot be one with the new modifications
adopted in 2013 on a UEFA proposal."
Blatter, in charge since 1998, is favorite to be re-elected for a
fifth mandate in the election on May 29 where each of FIFA's 209
member associations hold one vote.
"The slogans put forward by the three candidates supported by UEFA
clearly show that no one dares to question the central cause of the
current problems of football," Champagne added.
Champagne, a former FIFA official, said there were "numerous"
reasons why the federations had not supported him.
"Because they feared reprisals from their confederations having
issued 'recommendations'. Because their federations were candidates
to host continental competitions," he said.

"Because they relied too heavily on the financial support. Because
they were committed to defend a united continental front."
In his three-page statement, Champagne said UEFA was trying to wrest
control of soccer's governing body.
With one-third of the votes on FIFA's executive committee, European
soccer's governing body "believes that it can decide everything",
Champagne said.
"The hidden agenda -- or not so hidden after all -- is clear: under
the guise of reforming FIFA lies the objective of further weakening
it in favor of continental structures," he added.
"It constitutes the perennial vision of UEFA since 1998.
"It is also to pave the road for the wealthy actors of the Western
European football to get their hands on the last thing they do not
control yet: FIFA and the world government of football."
