Platini is bad for Fifa – Prince Ali

Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein has warned Michel Platini would not change the culture of corruption at Fifa if he were elected the governing body’s new president.

Prince Ali ran unsuccessfully against Sepp Blatter at May’s presidential elections, but is in the frame once again following the Swiss’ decision to step down in the face of intense scrutiny into the practices at world football’s governing body.

Blatter’s decision to leave his role followed the indictment of 14 individuals, including nine past and present Fifa officials, on charges of racketeering conspiracy and corruption.
