Michel Moulin will oppose the current president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, in the December 2024 elections.
According to L’Equipe, the former sporting advisor to the Paris Saint-Germain shareholders in 2008 and entrepreneur, has notified his intentions to run against the current administration in an email to the presidents of the footballing districts, leagues, and professional clubs.
Moulin had previously ran in 2020 where he came in third with 1.87% of the share of votes losing to Frédéric Thiriez (25.11%) and eventual winner Noël Le Graët (73.02%) who stepped down this year due to alleged inappropriate behaviour.
It appears as if the hopeful candidate will focus his campaign on the current issues of violence in French football impacting not only the professional game but also at the grassroots level, stating in his email that he would ‘respond to the serious crisis that football is experiencing in terms of violence, risks of attacks on property, and people.’
At the very least even if Moulin is no more successful than he was in 2020, Diallo will at least no longer run unopposed in 2024.
