Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has no intention of running for the presidency of FIFA. While his name is mentioned among the leaders likely to stand against Gianni Infantino in the next elections, the president of PSG has categorically ruled out this possibility. Questioned during the general assembly of European football clubs in Denmark, he was very clear: “ I have absolutely no interest in FIFA, no ambition to sit there. I don’t think I’m the right person and, in fact, I don’t want to go “, he declared in comments relayed by The Parisian.
The Parisian leader assures that he prefers to continue his current functions rather than embarking on the race for the presidency of the world body. “ I enjoy what I do and I have fun. We want to continue to build positive projects together. FIFA is not for me “, insisted Al-Khelaïfi. A few months before the election scheduled for March, Gianni Infantino remains, for the moment, the only declared candidate for his succession.
