FIFA on Wednesday confirmed seven candidates for next February extraordinary congress which is expected to produce a successor to the embattled Sepp Blatter.
However, the football’s world governing body excluded former Trinidad and Tobago international, David Nakhid, from the race.
The Zurich-based organisation gave no reason for rejecting Nakhid’s bid for its top job.
The candidates are – the General Secretary of Europe soccer governing body, UEFA, Gianni Infantino, Bahraini Royal Family member, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa and Liberian Football Association head, Musa Bility.
Others are – UEFA president, Michel Platini, Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, South African businessman, Tokyo Sexwale and ex-FIFA official, Jerome Champagne.
