The FIFA presidency race on Friday entered the second round of voting as incumbent chief Sepp Blatter failed to get a two-thirds majority, garnering only 133 votes out of the total 209.
Blatter's lone challenger Jordanian Prince Ali bin al-Hussein got 73 votes with only 206 out of 209 member associations voting at the FIFA Congress here.
The 79-year-old Blatter requires only a simple majority in the second round -- meaning thereby 105 votes -- to be re-elected president for a fifth consecutive time.
The Swiss has been at the helm of the world governing body of football since 1998.
