FIFA presidential candidate Prince Ali has said that the FIFA regime should step down immediately.

The comments follow the news that secretary-general Jerome Valcke has been suspended from his duties after allegations of corruption.

"The reputational damage to FIFA continues. Surely it is time for a new generation with new ideas to take over," Prince Ali told reporters.

"The old regime should step aside now, so a new team can effect a complete reform of the organisation to reflect the change that the national associations and fans of the game around the world are calling for."

Prince Ali announced that he will stand for the FIFA presidency earlier this month.
