Prince Ali had sought the measures "to safeguard the integrity of the voting process" but FIFA's ad-hoc electoral committee declined.

After requesting "urgent interim measures" from CAS, the Swiss-based arbitration court said it would decide on the matter no later than Thursday morning, a day before the election.
