The 209 members of Fifa are set to vote for their new president at their congress in Zurich, amid a huge corruption scandal.
The BBC reports that current Fifa president Sepp Blatter is seeking a fifth term. His only challenger is Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan.
The vote comes two days after seven top officials were held in Zurich in a US fraud inquiry that indicted 14 people. Mr Blatter has faced calls to quit, but says he is not responsible for the scandal and is favored to win. Michel Platini, president of European soccer's governing body UEFA, was one man who asked Blatter to step down.
