The soccer channel refers to several different sources, but the chairman of the selection committee, Ingmar Alm, does not want to comment on the information.
— We await a possible email. We always want a written notification (if a candidate withdraws) and only then do we publish information about it on the association’s website, says Alm.
Several candidates have withdrawn from the race for chairman recently and if Waldheim chooses to do so, only two candidates remain.
Former Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, who is the selection committee’s proposal, and challenger Lars-Christer Olsson.
The new chairman, who replaces outgoing Karl-Erik Nilsson, is to be elected at the annual meeting on 25 March.
