A Presidential candidate, for the forthcoming February 2016 FIFA election, Prince Ali of Jordan, has described the coalition

between the African and Asian football confederations as a "blatant attempt to engineer a bloc vote" in the election.

The 40-year old believed that there might be some discrepancies in the deal, and has urged the world football governing body to investigate whether the pact breaks its rules.

The two confederations account for 100 of the 209 votes to be cast in the presidential election on 26 February.

Ali, who was the only candidate who stood against incumbent president, Sepp Blatter, failed to beat the 79-year old, winning for the fifth term after which he was banned for eight years for misappropriation of funds, amongst other things.
