FIGC President Faces Eligibility Review After Election

Giovanni Malago, FIGC and CONI
17 September 2026

CONI is continuing to examine Giovanni Malago’s election as FIGC president over an alleged failure to register before the vote, possible ineligibility and a potential statute breach. Malago acknowledged the dispute publicly while defending his position and election.

The review concerns procedural questions surrounding Malago’s registration and eligibility rather than an announced removal from office. Malago said he remains confident despite criticism, while the supplied report states CONI is still examining whether federation rules were breached.
