Prince Ali is set to announce as early as Wednesday that he will stand as a candidate in the upcoming FIFA presidential election. Ali won 73 votes against incumbent Sepp Blatter in May’s poll before standing aside in the contest. He will join UEFA president Michel Platini and the former FIFA executive Chung Mong-joon as declaring their interest in leading football’s crisis-hit governing body. The election is due to be held on 26 February next year.
