On 9 November 2015, the Ad-hoc Electoral
Committee admitted and declared five candidates
eligible to stand for election to the office of FIFA
President. The election will take place at the
Extraordinary FIFA Congress in Zurich on 26
February 2016.

The candidates admitted and declared are:
• HRH Prince Ali Al Hussein
• Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa
• Jérôme Champagne
• Gianni Infantino
• Tokyo Sexwale


Pursuant to FIFA’s Electoral Regulations and the
FIFA Organisation Regulations , the investigatory
chamber of the Ethics Committee conducted
integrity checks on the candidates. This two-step
process involved first creating detailed reports of
risk-relevant information relating to each
candidate. The integrity check included a review
of corporate records, litigation cases, bankruptcy
proceedings, potential regulatory actions taken
against the candidate and a review of media
reports concerning potential red flags (fraudulent
behaviour, match manipulation, human rights
violations, etc.). Each candidate was then asked
to comment on the content of the detailed report
produced.

The final integrity check reports and the
comments submitted by the candidates were
provided to the members of the Ad-hoc Electoral
Committee and evaluated to determine whether
each of the candidates fulfilled the requirements
for the presidency as outlined in the FIFA
Statutes and Regulations.

The Ad-hoc Electoral Committee did not admit
the candidature of Musa Hassan Bility, in view of
the content of the integrity check report relating
to him. For reasons of protection of personality
rights, the Ad-hoc Electoral Committee – while it
has explained its considerations in detail to Musa
Hassan Bility – will not comment publicly on the
specifics of its decision.

The decisions of the Ad-hoc Electoral Committee
on the eligibility of candidates may be appealed
at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in
Lausanne


The committee will continue to supervise the
electoral process to ensure that each candidate
complies with all applicable FIFA regulations and
provisions leading up to and during the
Extraordinary FIFA Congress in February.

What do you guys think are the chances of Sexwale, the only African on the list?

Odegbami should go and beg for forgiveness from Funmi Iyanda

One of the Arabs might have a chance in this.

Methinks the Italian has a good chance too. Europe and the Americas will most likely vote for him.....then Sub-saharan Africans too......I mean, he plans to expand the world cup to a 40-team tournament I'd elected, some countries would love that


Only thing I'm sure of is that the nigga gon' finish dead last. Whoever heard of a South African standing a good chance, you can't keep killing your fellow Africans in your country and expect their support on the International stage
