FIFA presidential candidates Prince Ali Bin Hussein of Jordan and UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino have both called for reforms to world football's governing body at the 10th annual Dubai International Sports Conference.

Jordan's Prince Ali has vowed to implement change in FIFA if he is elected president.

Meanwhile, Infantino believes that only strong leadership can bring about the reforms necessary to restore credibility at the organization.

The other three candidates seeking to replace current FIFA President Sepp Blatter are former FIFA official Jerome Champagne of France, South African businessman Tokyo Sexwaali and Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa of Bahrain.

The election will take place on February 26th, 2016 in Zurich, Switzerland.
