Nasser al-Khelaifi rules out challenge to Gianni Infantino for FIFA presidency

He has been put forward as a possible challenger to Gianni Infantino, but Nasser al-Khelaifi, chairman of French giants Paris Saint-Germain, says no. "I have zero interest in FIFA, no agenda and no ambition to be there," he says at a press conference in Copenhagen.

The PSG boss is also chairman of the powerful European Club Association, ECA, and sits on the executive committee of Uefa, the European football association.

He has been put forward as a possible candidate from the European side against Gianni Infantino, the controversial president of the International Football Association, FIFA.

I don't think I'm the right person for that position and don't want to run. I'm happy with what I'm doing, he says in connection with the ECA's annual meeting in Copenhagen.

The FIFA presidential election will take place in Morocco in March next year.
