They are Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne.

The election process is expected to begin at 12:00 GMT, but several rounds of voting may be required before a winner is known.


There are five candidates, from Africa, Europe and the Middle East:

Prince Ali bin al-Hussein

Aged 40, president of the Jordanian Football Association

Jerome Champagne

Aged 57, a former Fifa executive from France

Gianni Infantino

Aged 45, the Swiss is Uefa's general secretary

Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa

Aged 50, the Bahraini is Asian Football Confederation president

Tokyo Sexwale

Aged 62, a South African former government minister

[QUOTE]What do they stand for?

Prince Ali wants to quadruple the amount Fifa's member associations receive - believing it will increase their sustainability - but wants the money properly accounted for.

Infantino would expand the World Cup to 40 teams to ensure more smaller nations can participate. He also wants to hugely expand Fifa's development plan by investing
