English FA will support Prince Ali for FIFA presidency

The English FA will support Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein's campaign for the FIFA presidency.

After meeting yesterday, the FA agreed to nominate the Jordanian prince to stand against Sepp Blatter.

Dutch FA president Michael van Praag has also announced that he is to stand for FIFA president but that will not affect the FA's decision. Van Praag, a fierce critic of Blatter's, already has the minimum five nominations in the bag, which he will make public on Wednesday.

Nominations for the presidency close on Thursday night.
