Legendary Italy and Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero has emerged as a potential candidate for the presidency of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). The election is set for February 3, 2025, and speculation is rife about whether the current president, Gabriele Gravina, will seek re-election.

Del Piero, a revered figure in Italian football, is expected to confirm his candidacy next week, with an official announcement likely to come on Wednesday. His entry into the race would mark a significant moment for Italian football, bringing a storied player into a key administrative role.

How the FIGC Elects Its Leader

The FIGC Assembly comprises a wide range of stakeholders in Italian football, including representatives from Serie A, Serie B, Lega Pro, and Lega Nazionale Dilettanti. Additionally, the assembly includes 52 players, 26 coaches, and nine referees, making up a total of 276 delegates.

To secure the presidency, a candidate must obtain a majority of 50 percent plus one vote. This structure ensures a broad representation of voices within Italian football in the decision-making process.

If Del Piero confirms his candidacy, his campaign promises to captivate fans and stakeholders alike, with many viewing him as a symbol of a potential new era for Italian football.
