The five who met the qualifications following a series of integrity tests were:

Prince Ali Al Hussein

Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa

Jerome Champagne

Gianni Infantino

Tokyo Sexwale

The candidacy of Platini, the suspended head of European football who had been the favourite to succeed Blatter, will be examined once his 90-day suspension byFIFA’s ethics committee is over.

The only candidate to be disqualified after receiving provisional approval wasMusa Bility, the head of the Liberian football association.
