Former Switzerland captain Ramon Vega won the League Cup with Tottenham Hotspur in 1999 despite playing in the final with a broken ankle and believes that determination can carry him to victory in his campaign for the FIFA presidency.
The 55-year-old ex-central defender made more than 60 appearances in the Premier League and also enjoyed a season in Serie A with Cagliari plus a loan spell at Celtic.
Since retiring in 2003, Vega -- who speaks six languages -- has forged a successful business career and attempted to run for the FIFA presidency in 2015, 2019 and 2023.
Vega has no doubts he can topple Gianni Infantino next March when FIFA’s 211 member federations decide who will lead world soccer for the next four years.
He says his combination of playing experience, business acumen and integrity makes him the best man to bring together supporters, administrators and players.
To get on the ballot paper, Vega has to win the backing of at least five national federations ahead of next Wednesday’s deadline for nominations, as well as demonstrate he has recently worked in a soccer role.
