Musa Bility, Liberia Football Association president, says he's seeking FIFA presidency (The Associated Press)

LONDON (AP) -- The president of the Liberia Football Association has announced he is running for the FIFA presidency.

Musa Bility is the second candidate to emerge since Sepp Blatter announced on June 2 - four days after being re-elected to a fifth term - that he would step down amid the corruption scandal rocking FIFA.

Former Brazil star Zico has already declared his interest in running for FIFA president.

Announcing his candidacy Thursday on the BBC, Bility said: ''If Africa doesn't put up a candidate it says a lot about us.''

The election is expected to be held between December and February.
