FIFA vice president Prince Ali says he will run for presidency

FIFA vice president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan said he will run for FIFA presidency on Tuesday.
Current president Sepp Blatter, 79, will run for his fifth mandate in the FIFA presidential election on May 29 in Zurich.
Prince Ali, 39, was quoted by the Associated Press, "It came after careful consideration and many discussions with respected FIFA colleagues over the last few months."
Prince Ali did not specify which five of FIFA's 209 members will nominate him for the presidency, as required before a Jan. 29 deadline. He was expected to travel to Australia for the Asian Cup, which kicks off Friday in Melbourne.
