Aleksander Ceferin and Nasser al-Khelaïfi target Gianni Infantino ahead of FIFA presidency vote | OneFootball

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who also leads the EFC, have attacked FIFA president Gianni Infantino, to differing degrees, hoping to unseat him.

According to L'Équipe, Ceferin is determined to try to bring about Infantino’s defeat at FIFA’s elective congress on 18 March 2027 in Rabat, Morocco.

Infantino skipped the EFC general assembly in Copenhagen. Invited, he called in sick, likely to avoid crossing paths with Ceferin.

Ceferin and al-Khelaïfi were seen speaking in the stands during the UEFA Super Cup on 12 August in Salzburg.

The pair’s positions underline an effort, at varying intensity, to challenge Infantino’s leadership ahead of that gathering.
