A Cameroonian announces his bid for the FIFA presidency
He wants to succeed Gianni Infantino
Jean Crepin Nyamsi wants to lead world football.
Having failed to take the reins of the Cameroonian Football Federation, Nyamsi is now setting his sights on the world football governing body. In an interview broadcast on Afo Media on Wednesday 29 April 2026, the Cameroonian made no secret of his ambitions. He is standing for the FIFA presidency in 2027.
You change things from the top… This time, I have decided to stand as a candidate for the International Federation of Association Football.
However, the announcement of his candidacy comes just as the Confederation of African Football has expressed the full support of its 54 member associations for the re-election of Gianni Infantino.
