Prince Ali of Jordan is poised to announce this week that he will run for the Fifa presidency.
The prince lost against Sepp Blatter in May's election but it is understood he will announce his candidature this week, in opposition to Michel Platini, the Uefa president.
Recently, Prince Ali launched an attack on Platini, claiming he was a "protégé" of Blatter. Asked if he would stand, the prince said: "Stay tuned. I'm talking to national associations. We need a candidate who is forward-thinking, brings new ideas and is not tainted by the past."
