Emmanuel Macron is attempting to bring Arsene Wenger into the race for the leadership of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). According to The Telegraph, the head of state personally contacted the former manager of London’s Arsenal and offered him his support.
Macron is ready to approach leaders of other countries to secure their votes in favour of the candidate. His goal is to persuade the 77-year-old specialist to put his name forward against incumbent FIFA President Gianni Infantino. It is currently unknown whether Wenger has accepted this offer. The application period for candidates will run until 18 November.
Arsene Wenger is considered one of the potential European contenders for the position. He managed Arsenal for over two decades, winning the English championship with the team three times. Since 2019, the Frenchman has been working within FIFA’s structure as the Director of Global Football Development.
Previously, Wenger expressed dissatisfaction with Infantino’s initiatives, particularly regarding the involvement of private investors in the commercial rights for the World Cup.
However, active intervention by the French president could become a risk factor for Wenger’s potential election campaign. A source familiar with the details of the negotiations, cited by The Telegraph, noted that Macron’s political activity in the West Africa region could provoke a negative reaction from the local population.
Anti-French sentiments are observed in this region, which are partly linked to France’s colonial past. Such a context could affect the perception of a candidate supported by Paris.
Thus, if Wenger decides to run, the election of the FIFA leader may take on the character of not only a sporting but also a diplomatic confrontation, reflecting the struggle for influence by European states in international football.
