Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaïfi could be eyeing a much bigger role in global football. According to France 2’s investigative program Complément d’enquête, the Qatari executive is seriously considering a run for the presidency of FIFA.
A new step in an ambitious journey
Having led PSG for over 13 years, Nasser al-Khelaïfi is now the club’s longest-serving president. But his ambitions apparently go far beyond the French capital. Sources close to him confirmed to Complément d’enquête that he’s exploring the possibility of succeeding Gianni Infantino as head of world football’s governing body.
A close ally of Infantino and key player in FIFA’s new Club World Cup
Al-Khelaïfi has been instrumental in shaping the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, set to take place in the United States in 2025. His close relationship with Infantino and increasing involvement in FIFA’s strategic projects have only fueled speculation about a future bid.
With strong influence in both European and global football, Al-Khelaïfi’s next move could reshape the sport’s leadership. A PSG president today — and maybe FIFA president tomorrow?
