LONDON (Reuters) - FIFA faces a "catastrophic" future if the wrong man is elected head of world football's governing body, presidential candidate Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein said on Tuesday when he published his election manifesto.

The 40-year-old Jordanian royal, who was beaten by 133-73 votes by Sepp Blatter in last May's election, is one of five men looking to replace the Swiss, who was banned from football for eight years last month for ethics violations.
