These might be the final few months in Frank Lowy's chairmanship of football but he will play a major role in one and possibly two elections before he departs the game's top job in Australia.

A representative of virtually every nation will converge on Zurich for the FIFA presidential vote on May 29, where the powerbrokers of the game will decided between reinstating Sepp Blatter or replacing him with one of the other confirmed candidates, Jordanian Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, Portuguese legend Luis Figo and Dutchman Michael van Praag.

Every nation gets one vote - but where Lowy will put his weight, on behalf of Australia, is a matter he's keeping to himself.

"There will be a board meeting soon and we will make a decision there," he said at the launch of the Whole of Football Plan in Sydney. "I can't tell you what the board will decide and I don't want to lead that process in public. I'll leave it in the boardroom and I think we'll come up with a decision that reflects Australia's wishes in the election at FIFA."
