Al-Khelaifi Denies FIFA Presidential Ambitions
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has publicly denied any intentions to run for the FIFA presidency, currently held by Gianni Infantino. During celebrations after PSG's 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, Al-Khelaifi stated, “I am very happy being president of Paris Saint-Germain, and happy to continue in this position.” His comments aim to dispel rumors suggesting he might challenge Infantino in the upcoming FIFA presidential election scheduled for March.
These rumors gained traction amid Infantino's declining reputation due to various scandals affecting FIFA. Prior to the match, Al-Khelaifi met with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, where discussions reportedly included FIFA matters and preparations for the 2029 Club World Cup.
