⚽ David Beckham could run for FIFA president. The co-owner of Inter Miami is reportedly ready to enter the race if he receives an official proposal and support from football associations. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March 2027.
Former England national team captain David Beckham could put forward his candidacy for the presidency of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).
