FIFA presidential candidate wants 10-year reform plan

Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein says that he will implement a 10-year reform programme at FIFA, if he is elected president of football's governing body.

FIFA presidential candidate Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan is planning to introduce a 10-year programme of reforms at football's governing body if elected.

Ali and Frenchman Jerome Champagne will stand against controversial incumbent Sepp Blatter, who first took charge in 1998 and is seeking a fifth term as president.

The 39-year-old member of Jordan's ruling royal family is keen to end a secretive culture at FIFA.

He is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "Reform is crucial. I was the first to ask for the Garcia report to come out. We should have nothing to hide.

"FIFA as an organisation tends to be a bit secretive, but we should be confident and happy to be open and engaged with everyone.

"I don't see a reason to be guarded. We have to bring the administration of sport into the current time we live in. I want to bring back that confidence."

Ali announced his intention to stand against Blatter on Monday.
