Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly considering a bid to challenge Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency ahead of the 2027 election.

According to The Telegraph, Wenger is weighing up the possibility of entering the race to lead world football's governing body, potentially setting up a contest against the incumbent president.

The election is scheduled to take place on March 18, 2027, during the 77th FIFA Congress in Rabat, Morocco, where Infantino is expected to seek another term in office.

Wenger, who enjoyed a highly successful managerial career with Arsenal, currently serves as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development.

His possible entry into the presidential race could introduce a new dimension to the contest for the leadership of the global football body.

However, the Frenchman has yet to officially confirm his intention to challenge Infantino for the position.
