The current president of the French Football Federation, Noël Le Graët, aged 79, formalized his candidacy for a fourth term on Thursday, in a letter to football families (clubs, leagues and districts, unions, High Authority, etc. .), which AFP was able to consult.
"After having widely consulted the players in French football in recent weeks and the members of the Executive Committee of the FFF this morning, I decided to request the renewal of your confidence, by presenting my candidacy for the presidency of our Federation", writes the leader, at the head of the body since 2011 and re-elected in 2012 and 2017. The vote for the next four-year term, initially scheduled for December, must be held at a general assembly of the FFF on March 13 next.
