Ali bin al-Hussein (2012)

Ali bin al-Hussein ( Arabic علي بن الحسين, DMG ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusain ; * December 23, 1975 in Jordan ) is the fourth son of the late King of Jordan Hussein I. His mother is Alia al-Hussein of Jordan , the third wife of Hussein I. Ali bin al-Hussein has been with him since September 7, 2004 Princess Rym Ali married.

He is a major general and has headed the National Center for Security and Crisis Management since 2008, prior to which he commanded the King's Life Guard for nine years. After training in Jordan, Great Britain and the United States, he graduated from the Sandhurst Military Academy .

Sports

In 1999 he became president of the Jordanian Football Association. He is also president of the regional association of West Asian football associations, the West Asian Football Federation . Instead of Chung Mong-joon , he was elected Vice-President of the FIFA Executive Committee in a 2011 battle vote. Four years later he lost the election to Salman bin Ibrahim Al Chalifa and resigned from the FIFA Executive Committee.

Al-Hussein ran for election as FIFA President on May 29, 2015 at the FIFA Congress in Zurich . He was the only challenger to the incumbent candidate Sepp Blatter . Blatter had previously come under pressure because of massive allegations of corruption in FIFA and the arrest of some FIFA officials in this context. The representatives of many voting states therefore announced before the election that they would vote for Ali bin al-Hussein. In the first ballot, al-Hussein received 73 of the 209 votes, which would have resulted in a second ballot. Before the second ballot, however, al-Hussein withdrew his candidacy, whereby Sepp Blatter was re-elected.
