Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein has officially submitted his candidacy for the presidency of FIFA.

The deadline for contenders to officially submit their candidacy is Oct. 26.

Ali previously tried to unseat incumbent president Sepp Blatter in May's election.

The election took place just as a massive scandal broke leading to the indictment of nine FIFA officials and five FIFA affiliated sports officials in the United States. The scandal has since expanded, leading to Blatter's suspension and a criminal investigation into his actions as president.

Despite the scandal, Blatter won 133 votes compared to Ali's 73.

He later announced that he would resign do to the ongoing scandal, announcing early elections. At the time, Ali criticized Blatter for trying to push through reforms before leaving office.

“We need a clear process, clear timelines, and a very clear remit. And all this should belong to the new president,” Ali said, according to  Reuters.

“It is the role of the new president to put in place the necessary systems to implement the changes that FIFA so desperately needs, not a Task Force trying to rush this through.”

The new election will take place on Feb 26 and Ali is hopeful for real reform.

"I am confident that FIFA can emerge from this difficult period with its reputation restored and become an organisation that is once again viewed with respect," he said, according to Sky Sports.

We'll see if the next president, whoever it is, can bring the real reforms the prince is hoping for.
