Lega Pro chief Gabriele Gravina has support from half of Serie A clubs as FIGC President, ahead of Damiano Tommasi and Cosimo Sibilia.

The Federation is currently without a President after Carlo Tavecchio resigned in the wake of failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

There are three official candidates: Lega Pro President Gravina, Players Association chief Tommasi and leader of the Lega Dilettanti Sibilia.

All three rejected calls for the election on January 29 to be postponed, despite none of them having enough votes to win.
