Al-Khelaifi counters UEFA in FIFA conflict
The escalating conflict between the European Football Union (UEFA) and FIFA President Gianni Infantino has come to the forefront, centered around plans to establish a commercial company to organize the World Cup and sell its shares to investors. Although some UEFA officials have hinted at nominating Qatar's Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain and the European Club Association, to challenge Infantino in the FIFA presidential election scheduled for 2027, Al-Khelaifi has stated that he has no intention of running for the position. Infantino is considered the favorite to secure a new term, thanks to his success in increasing FIFA’s revenues and his broad support among international associations. Meanwhile, Al-Khelaifi’s path to the presidency remains open but challenging, particularly given the need to garner support from around 211 associations worldwide.
