Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa ( ﺳﻠﻤﺎﻥ ﺑﻦ ﺍﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﺁﻝ ﺧﻠﻴﻔﺔ in Arabic, born 2 November 1965 in
Riffa , Bahrain ) is the President of the Asian Football Confederation since 2 May 2013. Before his election as the president of AFC, he was president of Bahrain Football Association [1] and also Chairman of the Asian Football Confederation Disciplinary Committee, and Deputy Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee. [2]

Background
Shaikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa is a member of the Bahrain Royal Family. He graduated from University of Bahrain in 1992 with a bachelor's degree in English Literature and History. Shaikh Salman has been involved in football for many years dating back to the 1980s when he played in the youth team of Bahrain Division I team, Riffa Club. [citation needed ]
Since leaving Riffa Club to focus on his academic studies, Shaikh Salman has held executive positions at the BFA. In 1996 he was appointed Chairman of the National Team, elected Vice President two years later and eventually became the Football Association’s president in 2002. He has also served as the Co-Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee at several FIFA Tournaments such as, the FIFA World Cups, FIFA Beach Tournaments, FIFA Club Championships, etc. He was also Deputy Chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee at Beijing in 2008. [citation needed ]

On 15 October 2015 Sheikh Salman announced his candidature to become the next president of FIFA after the election of February 2016. His likely candidature aroused criticism from human rights organizations, notably Human Rights Watch , Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain and the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy. He was accused of “complicity in crimes against humanity” for allegedly heading a committee that identified 150 athletes, including international footballers, involved in pro-democracy demonstrations in 2011, many of whom were later imprisoned and tortured. He denied the allegations.[3]

Shaikh Salman has three children, two daughters Sheikha Latifa born in 1994 and Sheikha Aysha born in 1998, and a son Sheikh Isa born in 2001

Career in FIFA
During the eleven years spent in FIFA , Champagne followed sport-political issues, relations with FIFA member associations as well as specific projects such as the FIFA Centennial,
[9] FIFA's relations with governments and the
European Union including the defense of the specificity of sport at the EU, the Win in Africa with Africa initiative, [10] FIFA 's support for Palestinian football, [11] the improvements in
FIFA 's relationship with FIFPro for the good of the governance of world football, the development of CIES Football Observatory, and
FIFA 's relations with the International Olympic Committee and other international federations.
[12]

He is also credited for having contributed to the reelection of President Sepp Blatter in 2002, [13] supported the latter during the choice of South Africa in May 2004 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup
[14] and worked behind the scenes for the election in January 2007 of Michel Platini as President of UEFA .

In terms of football development, he was responsible in 2006 of the " Win in Africa with Africa" program, [15] whose idea emerged after a meeting in 2005 between the President of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki and Sepp Blatter so that the whole continent would benefit from the first FIFA World Cup held in Africa. With a budget of $70 million voted in the FIFA Congress in Munich in 2006, [16] this program will enable the construction of more than fifty synthetic fields, the computerization of players’ registration, the reorganization of the formats of many local leagues and the establishment of sports management courses in Egypt, Senegal and
South Africa.

In addition, Champagne has led several draws for
FIFA competitions including the draw in December 2003 of the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification [17]

The Guardian has suggested him as a potential replacement for Blatter, [18] and in September 2014 he declared he would run for the FIFA presidency at its 2015 election. [1] In January 2015, he declared he would run a clean campaign and would consider taking the 2022 World Cup away from Qatar if he won the election. [19] However, he failed to obtain enough support, and withdrew his candidacy in February 2015.
