Prince Ali hints that he will be in the running to replace FIFA president Sepp Blatter in next February's election.

Prince Ali has suggested that he will stand for the FIFA presidency in next February's election.

The 39-year-old Jordanian was outvoted in May's election, but has another chance to take the position after an extraordinary congress was given the green light by current president Sepp Blatter.

The 79-year-old will step down from his role next year following allegations of widespread corruption within football's world governing body.

During an appearance at the Soccer convention in Manchester, when asked if he would run for the presidency, Prince Ali said: "Right now, I'm talking to national associations, I'm listening to their opinions, what they see for the future. What I say to you right now is stay tuned."

When asked if he could win the election, despite not being backed by the Asian Football Confederation, Prince Ali replied: "If [the] election is done correctly, cleanly and properly I believe I can, for sure."

Blatter has been in charge of FIFA for the last 17 years.
