The Jordanian Prince was the main contender of Blatter in this year’s election but his withdrawal after the first round gave Blatter the massive win.

According to him, the reason for him standing in the elections was because he wanted a change in the organization and although he lost he was grateful to the ones who were brave enough to support him.

Prince Ali is a member of the Jordan Royal family and has the backing of the majority of the European nations. Ali was the President of the Jordanian Football Association and was also the youngest Vice-President of the FIFA but he lost both the positions after losing in the elections.

If he decides to run again, he will have a massive chance with Blatter stepping down.
