Al-Khelaifi announces bid for FIFA leadership
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the President of Paris Saint-Germain, reaffirmed that he has no intention of running for the FIFA presidency in the 2027 elections. This comes despite reports suggesting he supports a candidate backed by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), aiming to thwart Infantino's plans to launch a commercial company project linked to FIFA. Al-Khelaifi is considered an influential figure within European football institutions, holding a position on UEFA's Executive Committee and chairing the European Club Association. He is seen as a potential candidate to lead FIFA if Europe seeks to increase its influence over the international governing body. Al-Khelaifi, who is striving to restore Europe's momentum in the sport, announced that he will continue supporting global football institutions and explicitly rejected any formal bid for the FIFA presidency.
