The FIGC will hold a general assembly on 14 December to elect a new president, with Giovanni Malago expected to be the only candidate.
The Italian federation confirmed on Friday that the meeting has been formally scheduled, with the presidential election included among the items on the agenda.
Malago is therefore in line to regain the FIGC presidency after his first term was brought to an early end by an administrative issue.
He was initially elected to lead the Italian FA in June, following the resignation of Gabriele Gravina. Gravina stepped down after Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
However, Malago’s election was subsequently found to have breached the federation’s eligibility requirements. At the time of the vote, he was not a registered member of the FIGC, meaning he was technically not entitled to stand for the presidency.
As a result, his first term as FIGC president could not continue, and the federation was placed under the control of a special commissioner.
Malago had previously been president of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI), the organisation responsible for overseeing professional sport in Italy, including football.
Because of the question over his eligibility, Malago reached a compromise with current CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio. Under that arrangement, he became the special commissioner himself and was able to retain control of the FIGC until a new presidential election could be held.
The assembly on 14 December will now provide the formal opportunity to resolve the situation. Reports in recent weeks have indicated that Malago is likely to face no opposition in the contest.
If he is the only candidate, his expected return would restore him to the position he first took up in June, although the previous appointment was invalidated by the registration issue.
