Swiss football legend Ramón Vega is making another bold move to shake up the leadership at FIFA. The 55-year-old former defender, who played for clubs like Tottenham and Celtic, officially launched his campaign this Wednesday to challenge current president Gianni Infantino.
- Vega announced his intention to run in the upcoming FIFA congress held in Rabat on March 18.
- He previously attempted to launch bids in 2015, 2019, and 2022, though he struggled to secure enough support to officially qualify.
- To make this attempt count, Vega must collect written endorsements from at least five national football associations by November 18.
It is a tough road ahead, but Vega is clearly determined to see if he can finally get his name on the ballot.
