Bility submits FIFA presidency bid

Musa Bility, president of the Liberia Football Association, has confirmed his candidacy for the presidential position at FIFA.

Liberia Football Association (LFA) chief Musa Bility has announced his candidacy for FIFA's presidential elections.

The 48-year-old revealed that his campaign team has submitted his registration in the race to replace outgoing president Sepp Blatter, who remains suspended by the organization.

Bility's announcement comes ahead of Monday's deadline for candidates to submit their bids for the elections that will be held in February.

"I am a very happy man," he told BBC Sport. "If we are to change football then we have to make sure that those who have been running FIFA for the last 20-25 years have nothing to do with it.
