Heavy artillery from the Élysée Palace! Macron to back Wenger in battle against Infantino

French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his readiness to provide strong political backing to former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger if he stands for the presidency of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association.

Details: According to respected British newspaper The Telegraph, the French president intends not only to publicly support the 77-year-old compatriot’s candidacy, but also to actively persuade other world leaders to unite behind his campaign. The main aim of this political alliance is to oust current FIFA president Gianni Infantino, whose reputation has been shaken recently by a series of high-profile scandals.

Time is running out to make a final decision: the official deadline for submitting presidential nominations is November 18. European football insiders believe Macron’s direct diplomatic influence, combined with the clout of UEFA’s leadership, could persuade Wenger to challenge Infantino.

It is worth noting that since November 2019, Arsène Wenger has served as FIFA’s chief of global football development, commanding enormous respect among national federations and fans around the world.
