Arsene Wenger Considering Bid for FIFA Presidency
World Sports · 03:24:03 - Friday, 13 November 2026

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly considering entering the race for FIFA president, according to a report from Daily Cannon on Monday.

The 77-year-old Frenchman, who currently serves as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, has been a prominent figure in football administration since stepping down from his 22-year tenure at Arsenal in 2018.

Wenger's potential candidacy would add a high-profile name to the succession discussion for the world football governing body's top position. The current FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, was re-elected unopposed in 2023 for a term running until 2027.

No official announcement has been made by Wenger or FIFA regarding a formal candidacy.
