Prince Ali is ready to challenge Blatter for Fifa
presidency.  The current vice president says he wants to restore the image of the organisation by shifting focus away from controversy and back to the game itself.

The Fifa vice president is regarded as a genuine reformer and his announcement is set to spark hopes that football governance could be overhauled.

The current president of the Jordan Football Association believes it is time for football headlines to be exclusively focused on what happens on the pitch by cleaning up Fifa's image off it.

Fifa's reputation has been severely tarnished since they awarded the 2022 World Cup to Qatar and the subsequent controversy surrounding the Michael Garcia report into allegations of corruption.

"I am seeking the presidency of Fifa because I believe it is time to shift the focus away from administrative controversy and back to
sport," Al Hussein wrote on Twitter.

This wasn't an easy decision. It came after careful consideration and many discussions with respected Fifa colleagues over the last few
months.

The world's game deserves a world-class governing body — a service organisation and a model of ethics, transparency and good
governance.
