Gabriele Gravina has officially confirmed his candidacy for the Presidency of the FIGC.

The 65-year-old has officially put his name forward for the election on October 22, with the Italian FA operating under a commissionership since Carlo Tavecchio’s resignation in November.

Elections in January failed to return a President, who must achieve at least 75 per cent of the vote, which is split between seven groups.

The groups are Serie A, Serie B, the Players’ Union, the Lega Pro, the Coach’s Union, the Referees’ Association and the Amateur League.

However, due to the voting structure not all are equal, with the Amateur League controlling around 34 per cent of the vote.

Today Gravina, who achieved 39 per cent of the vote in those elections, has announced that he’ll stand again.

The 65-year-old was previously President of Castel Di Sangro, whose rise to Serie B in that period was covered by the American journalist Joe McGinniss.
