Switzerland’s Gianni Infantino has been president of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) since February 2016, where he was re-elected twice, and his current mandate continues until 2027.
Emmanuel Macron enters the scene
French newspaper Le Monde has revealed the possibility that current French President Emmanuel Macron will run in the FIFA elections after his presidential term ends in France in 2027, with the French constitution preventing him from running for a third term.
Macron’s passion for sport
Macron is known for his passion for sport. He played for the Club des Variétés de France and appeared several times playing sports like boxing and ice skating. He also had strong relationships with the stars of the France team, notably Kylian Mbappé, captain of the Roosters.
A new stage after the end of the presidency
As reported by RMC Sport, the presidency of FIFA is a unique opportunity for Macron to access a field that he loves. Although there is no official declaration, the idea is initially welcomed among those close to the French president.
