Former Brazil international Zico has released a manifesto for his Fifa presidential campaign, focusing on "democratisation, transparency, governance and the permanent evolution of world football".
Zico received the backing of the Brazilian Football Confederation in July and has taken the next step in his bid to replace Sepp Blatter as Fifa president by launching a website, zicofifa.com, and releasing his "10 Foundations for Change".
The 62-year-old coach of FC Goa in the Indian Super League wants to rebuild Fifa around four "pillars", with the first point of his manifesto labelling them democracy, transparency, governance and evolution.
Zico is keen to reassess Fifas "governance processes", the criteria for election onto the Executive Committee and how projects are awarded Fifa funding.
If the ex-Brazil international is elected, it appears technological assistance for referees would increase on his watch.
"Permanent evolution of football: promoting permanent discussions relating to the use of technology within the rules of the game," Zico's eighth point reads.
Fifa's next president is set to be decided in February 2016.
