Football is the world’s most popular sport. It belongs to players, supporters, clubs, and communities across every continent.

Today, we call for Michel Platini to be given the opportunity to lead FIFA and help shape the future of world football.

As a three-time Ballon d’Or winner, captain of the French national team, European champion, and former UEFA president, Michel Platini possesses a unique combination of sporting excellence, leadership, and institutional experience. Few figures in football history have contributed as much to the game, both on and off the pitch.

For years, circumstances prevented him from pursuing the role many believed he was destined to hold. Following his legal acquittals, many supporters now believe it is time for football to benefit once again from his vision, expertise, and passion for the sport.

This petition is not directed against any individual. It is a positive call from football fans around the world who believe that Michel Platini’s experience, independence, and understanding of the game could be invaluable to FIFA and to the future of football.

We believe football should be guided by those who have dedicated their lives to it.

If you share this belief, sign this petition and help send a message to football’s decision-makers around the world:

Give Michel Platini the opportunity to serve football as FIFA President.

Football deserves leadership rooted in its history, values, and passion.
