Could Arsene Wenger challenge Gianni Infantino for FIFA presidency?
Senior figures in European football have approached BBC Sport to express their desire for former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to run as a surprise candidate against current FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Despite growing internal backlash over governance and commercial schemes, Infantino has been widely expected to secure a fourth term unopposed. While potential political heavyweights like Uefa chief Aleksander Ceferin have ruled themselves out, Wenger's global reputation and current role as FIFA's head of global development make him an intriguing prospect. However, whether the 76-year-old Frenchman is willing to challenge his direct superior remains entirely unconfirmed.
