The Confederation of African Football will not support the FIFA presidential bid by Musa Bility of Liberia.
CAF says its executive committee heard Bility at his request at a meeting on Thursday and decided against supporting his proposed candidacy.
The executive panel "wished him good luck" with his bid, CAF said in a statement.
The statement made no mention of possible contenders from Africa or elsewhere it might support.
CAF president Issa Hayatou, FIFA's senior vice president, and South African businessman Tokyo Sexwale, a member of FIFA's discrimination task force, have been speculated as candidates to succeed Sepp Blatter on Feb. 26.
CAF says its executive committee wants time to study all options.
The panel will next meet Oct. 27, the day after FIFA's deadline for applications.
