Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein
FIFA presidency, the Jordanian said in a statement issued late
Monday, dismissing speculation he may withdraw his candidacy for the
top job at the ruling football body.
"I will continue the race until the end," Prince Ali said in
reference to the May 29 election at the FIFA congress in Zurich.
The statement came in response to speculation in social media
platforms that the Jordanian Prince Ali may withdraw in order to back
a single candidate to run against Joseph Blatter who is seeking a
fifth term as FIFA boss.
Dutch football federation president Michael van Praag and former
Portugal star Luis Figo are the other two men challenging Blatter.
Prince Ali said in the statement he got a lot of positive feedback
during recent visits to various countries.
Blatter appears to have gathered support from many confederations and
is the favourite for the secret ballot at the congress. The Swiss'
main critics are the European governing body UEFA.
