Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly considering a bid to challenge incumbent Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency, according to a report from The Independent on November 8, 2026.
Wenger, who currently serves as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, could launch a campaign to lead world football's governing body. The 73-year-old Frenchman has been a prominent figure in football administration since leaving his managerial role in 2018.
Infantino, who has been FIFA president since 2016, is expected to seek re-election. A potential contest between the two high-profile figures would mark a significant moment in football governance.
