Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is reportedly weighing a potential bid to challenge Gianni Infantino in the upcoming FIFA presidential election, with a final decision expected this week.
According to Sky Sports, key stakeholders—including leadership figures within UEFA—have been heavily lobbying the 77-year-old to enter the race ahead of the November 18 filing deadline.
Wenger has served as FIFA’s chief of global football development since November 2019.
European governing body chiefs have reportedly grown increasingly disillusioned with Infantino following recent controversies surrounding FIFA’s commercial proposals, prompting the push for an alternative candidate.
