Hi Agustin,


The FIFA President is elected to a four-year term by the associations represented at the FIFA Congress. There is no term-limit to the FIFA Presidency. The names of candidates for the presidency of the Federation are submitted to the General Secretariat of FIFA by any member association prior to the opening date of the Congress and then the vote is conducted by secret ballot. For the election of the President, a full two-thirds of the votes are necessary to win in the first balloting. In the case where no candidate receives the two-thirds minimum, subsequent balloting is conducted where only an absolute majority of the votes recorded is required. If there are more than two candidates, from the second ballot onwards, the candidate obtaining the lowest number of votes will be eliminated after each round until only two candidates remain in the running.

Greg’s Answer

My suggestion is that you do some research on the current and past FIFA presidents. What are their backgrounds in terms of education and experience? That might give you some ideas of a path to best prepare yourself to be a strong candidate. A couple of additional ideas that come to mind are: 1) Major in Sports Management 2) Get a law degree 3) Get a job working for a professional soccer team. You might even be able to do #2 while you are doing #3.
