Potential Fifa presidential election rivals Michel Platini and Prince Ali bin Al Hussein met for the first time on Wednesday since Sepp Blatter announced his exit.
Spokesmen for both men declined to comment on details of the talks held in the south of France, where Platini has a vacation home.
Prince Ali was publicly supported by UEFA President Platini before losing a 133-73 vote to Blatter in May. Four days later, under pressure from American and Swiss corruption investigations, Blatter said he would leave within months.
Neither possible contender has yet declared his intentions for the Fifa ballot on Feb. 26. Would-be candidates must apply by an Oct. 26 deadline.
Later Wednesday, Prince Ali opposed Platini's view on Fifa reform plans.
Platini said Monday that an in-house task force announced by Blatter was an important step and should act "in a swift and effective manner."
The Jordanian prince takes a longer term view of an 11-member panel which was told to report to the next Fifa executive committee meeting on Sept. 24-25 in Zurich.
"How can this task force address change in any meaningful way within such a short timeline?" Prince Ali said in a statement.
"It is the role of the new President to put in place the necessary systems to implement the changes that Fifa so desperately needs, not a Task Force trying to rush this through in less than 60 days," the prince said. - AP
