Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan was elected vice president of soccer’s governing body FIFA, unseating a critic of president Sepp Blatter.
Ali will replace Chung Mong-Joon on the FIFA Executive Committee, ending the South Korean’s 16-year stay on the 24-member decision making panel. Ali won the vote 25-20 to claim one of FIFA’s eight vice presidencies at the Asian Football Confederation’s Congress in Doha, Qatar.
