FIFA presidential election candidate Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein's lawyers have gone to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in an attempt to get Friday's FIFA presidential election postponed.
Prince Ali is one of five candidates trying to succeed Sepp Blatter,
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne are the other four candidates vying for the position, which is set to be decided in Zurich this week.
"FIFA opposed our request for an accelerated procedure so that these questions could be decided before February 26," the Jordanian prince's Paris lawyers said in a statement to French news agency AFP.
"It was therefore natural that Prince Ali goes to the CAS."
Prince Ali's request for transparent voting booths to be used were rejected by the election commission at world football's governing body.
