Factbox on Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, one of five candidates standing for the FIFA presidency in an election on Feb. 26:
* Born in Amman on Dec. 23, 1975, he is the third son of the late King Hussein of Jordan. His mother Queen Alia died in a helicopter crash in February 1977 when he was 14 months old.
* Stood against Sepp Blatter in the FIFA election in May but, despite backing from Europe and other countries, was beaten by 133-73 votes in the first round. Although that did not give Blatter the winning margin he needed, Ali conceded defeat before a second round was held.
* Also also lost his seat on the FIFA executive committee because the vice-presidency seat Ali occupied was re-allocated by the Asian Football Confederation to its own president, Sheikh Salman, who is also now standing in this election.
* Decided to stand again following the crisis that engulfed FIFA last year and has repeatedly said on his worldwide campaign trail that "this is FIFA's last chance to get it right".

* He became president of the Jordan Football Association in 1999 and a year later, he founded the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF).

* His sister, Princess Haya, served two terms as president of the International Equestrian Federation and their half-brother, Prince Faisal, is a member of the International Olympic Committee.
