FIFA's vice president will stand against Sepp Blatter in the organisation's elections later this year, insisting it is "time for change".
As well as taking on the current president of football's world governing body, Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan will stand against Frenchman Jerome Champagne for the top job in May.
"I am seeking the presidency of FIFA because I believe it is time to shift the focus away from administrative controversy and back to sport," he said in a statement.
"This was not an easy decision. It came after careful consideration and many discussions with respected FIFA colleagues over the last few months.
"The message I heard, over and over, was that it is time for a change.
"The world's game deserves a world-class governing body - an International Federation that is a service organisation and a model of ethics, transparency and good governance."
Mr Blatter has held his position as FIFA president since 1998.
He will be running for a fifth term at the 65th FIFA congress in Zurich on 29 May despite the organisation being engulfed by controversy in recent months over the decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar.
Prince Ali has served as president of the Jordan Football Association since 1999 and a year later founded the West Asian Football Federation which consists of 13 different nations.
Mr Champagne is a former FIFA deputy secretary general.
