Seven candidates will stand in Fifa's presidential elections on 26 February.

The candidates are:

Prince Ali bin al-Hussein

 Musa Bility

Jerome Champagne

Gianni Infantino

Michel Platini

Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa 

Tokyo Sexwale.

Trinidadian ex-footballer David Nakhid was not included on the list, despite saying he had submitted his candidacy.

The election is to find a successor to the suspended Sepp Blatter, who is under criminal investigation.

The Swiss 79-year-old announced he would be stepping down in June, as world football's governing body was engulfed by a corruption scandal.
