ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA presidential candidate Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein wants football's governing body to protect players' rights and pay more attention to fans and sponsors, he said on Friday.

The Jordanian suggested a revision of the number of slots allocated to each continent at the World Cup and added the hierarchy should be shaken up so "the FIFA president is there to serve...and protect the game".
