President of the South African Football Association, Danny Jordaan, has pulled out of the race to be a member of the FIFA Council.

According to Ceoafrica, South Sudan's Chabur Goc Alei has also withdrawn from the race, as he did in 2016, while Zambian Kalusha Bwalya abandoned his bid over the weekend.

The withdrawals were revealed in a letter sent by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to the continent's member associations.

CAf confirmed the eligibility of 10 candidates for next week';s elections.

This came after FIFA's Governance Committee approved their candidacy following eligibility checks, which FIFA introduced on the corruption scandal of 2015.
