UEFA成員想推PSG主席競選FIFA主席
Gianni Infantino faces fight as FIFA president as shortlist of potential candida tes to replace him emerges
Gianni Infantino面臨連任挑戰，接替人選名單逐漸浮現
Calls are growing from UEFA federations to back a candidate to run against Giann i Infantino at the next FIFA presidential election, talkSPORT understands.
據talkSPORT獲悉，愈來愈多UEFA協會成員主張支持一名候選人，在下一屆 FIFA主席選舉中挑戰現任主席 Gianni Infantino
Infantino confirmed he was seeking a third term at April's FIFA Congress and has been hoping his re-election will be unopposed.
Infantino已於今年4月的 FIFA 大會確認將尋求第三個任期，並希望能夠在沒有競爭對手的情況下順利連任
Yet talkSPORT has learned there is some support for other candidates within UEFA.
不過talkSPORT得知，UEFA 內部已有部分人士開始支持其他候選人
It comes in light of talkSPORT exclusively revealing Infantino received a call f rom US President Donald Trump asking him to review US striker Folarin Balogun's red card, which was subsequently suspended, with UEFA reacting with a strong sta tement accusing FIFA of 'crossing a red line'.
此事的背景是，talkSPORT日前獨家披露，美國總統Donald Trump曾致電 Infantino，要求重新審視美國前鋒Folarin Balogun的紅牌判決，而該紅牌之後也確實遭到暫時撤銷，UEFA 隨即發表措辭強烈的聲明，指控 FIFA 已經「跨越了紅線」。
Who could run against Infantino to become the next FIFA president?
誰可能挑戰 Infantino、角逐下一任 FIFA 主席？
UEFA President Alexander Ceferin would be the most qualified name, but the Slove nian lawyer is understood to be willing to continue in his current role as UEFA President next Spring.
UEFA主席 Aleksander Ceferin 被認為是最具資格的人選，但據了解這位斯洛維尼亞籍律師傾向於明年春天繼續留任UEFA主席
He had initially ruled out standing for a third full term until 2031, but is now willing to seek re-election if no other candidates step forward.
他原本曾表示不會競選第三個完整任期（至 2031 年），但如今若沒有其他合適人選出馬，他願意尋求連任
Ceferin is not looking to go head-to-head with Infantino despite clashing on iss ues on a number of occasions.
儘管Ceferin過去曾多次與Infantino在各項議題上發生衝突，但他並不打算親自與Infantino正面競爭
As a result, multiple UEFA federations, including Belgium and Poland, would back a move for PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi to stand at the next election.
因此包括比利時、波蘭在內的多個UEFA協會成員，都傾向支持巴黎聖日耳曼主席Nasser Al-Khelaifi出馬參選下一屆 FIFA主席
talkSPORT understands the ECA Chairman has no such ambition to stand for office so would take significant persuading.
不過據talkSPORT了解，這位歐洲俱樂部協會（ECA）主席目前並沒有參選意願，因此若要說服他投入選戰，仍需要付出相當大的努力
talkSPORT also understands senior officials within Bosnian, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Spanish football have all discussed backing other European candidates, including Legia owner Dariusz Mioduski.
此外talkSPORT還獲悉，波士尼亞、挪威、瑞典、德國及西班牙足壇高層，也曾討論支持其他歐洲候選人，包括波蘭球會華沙萊吉亞老闆Dariusz Mioduski
Should Al-Khelaifi choose not to stand, which is the current expectation, Poland would favour Mioduski as well.
若Al-Khelaifi 最終決定不參選（目前普遍預期如此），波蘭方面也將轉而支持 Mioduski
Outside of UEFA, Concacaf president Victor Montagliani has been touted as a poss ible successor to Infantino.
在UEFA之外，中北美及加勒比海足協（Concacaf）主席Victor Montagliani也被視為可能接替Infantino的人選之一
Sources close to Montagliani argue his focus is on being re-elected as CONCACAF president but it is relatively common knowledge the Canadian has aspirations to be FIFA president one day.
接近Montagliani的消息人士表示，他目前的重心仍是尋求連任Concacaf主席，不過這位加拿大人有朝一日希望成為 FIFA 主席，早已是足壇公開的秘密
Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe is another name inte nt on being FIFA president one day.
非洲足協（CAF）主席Patrice Motsepe也是未來有意角逐 FIFA 主席的人選之一
The South African administrator is highly unlikely to go head-to-head with close ally Infantino, instead preferring to wait until 2031 in the hope of getting an endorsement during an election Infantino can't stand again in.
這位南非籍足球行政主管與Infantino關係密切，因此幾乎不可能直接挑戰他，而是更傾向等到 2031 年、Infantino 因任期限制無法再競選時，再爭取對方的支持
The challenge for UEFA federations wanting to challenge Infantino is the FIFA pr esident's proposed plans to expand the World Cup to 64 teams, as well as expand the Club World Cup and make it every two years, are widely supported by CAF, CON CACAF and Asian Football Confederation members.
對希望挑戰 Infantino的UEFA 成員而言，最大的難題在於Infantino所提出的世界盃擴編至64 隊，以及世界俱樂部盃擴大規模並改為每兩年舉辦一次等構想，都獲得了非洲足協（CA F）、中北美足協（Concacaf）及亞洲足協（AFC）多數會員的大力支持
And there appears to be no appetite to table a vote of no confidence against Inf antino either despite it being toyed with at the last FIFA Congress.
此外儘管在上一次 FIFA 大會上曾有人提出過對 Infantino 發動不信任投票的想法，但目前各會員協會似乎並沒有推動此事的意願
Most federations will simply view the election itself as a vote of confidence, w hich is why a growing number of UEFA members are hoping to back another candidat e to avoid Infantino winning a new term without a genuine debate.
大多數會員協會認為，選舉本身就是一場信任投票，因此愈來愈多 UEFA 成員希望推出另一位候選人，避免Infantino在沒有真正競爭與辯論的情況下順利連任
