Ceferin Declines FIFA Presidential Bid, Warns Infantino
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin stated he will not contest Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency in March. However, he warned that Infantino might face a strong challenger during the elections.
Ceferin mentioned that Infantino has two options: resign or stand for election in March, where he could encounter at least one opponent. Ceferin, who expressed his commitment to UEFA, clarified that he would not run for FIFA president, describing himself as an unusual candidate.
The deadline for candidate registration is set for November 18, as Infantino seeks a third consecutive term following his previous landslide election victory. The upcoming election for FIFA's leadership will take place in Morocco in March.
