Former AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani will run against incumbent Giovanni Malagò for the presidency of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), according to reports from The Cult of Calcio on Friday.
The election challenge sets up a significant contest for control of Italian football's governing body. Malagò has served as FIGC president since 2021, while Galliani brings decades of club management experience from his long tenure at AC Milan and more recent role at Monza.
The FIGC presidential election is expected to take place in the coming months, with both candidates likely to outline their visions for Italian football's future development, national team performance, and league governance.
