So he should have a realistic chance then, right?
Yeah, but at the end of the day fans don't elect the president. It's an assembly consisting of the leaders of the regional FA's, as well as referees and a handful of football and futsal club presidents, players and managers.
Obviously Casillas has the advantage of being a respected football figure that knows the game, so he should have the chance to get people behind him. He will have a shot at it for sure, but we'll also have to wait and see how much of a firm grasp on the voters Rubiales can hold, and also if a third candidate arises. The elections are due to take place in an unspecified date during this year's second semester, so there's still a bit of time to go.
