The map showing world's division over Infantino

Two weeks ago, Gianni Infantino's re-election as Fifa president was considered a sure thing, with 210 member associations endorsing his bid for a fourth term. However, recent events have shifted the global perception of his leadership. The BBC Sport has mapped the views of all 210 voting members, revealing a growing divide between support and opposition to Infantino.

In some cases, countries have publicly declared their stance, while others have revealed their position through requests to BBC Sport. The distribution of support appears to be 73 votes in favor of Infantino, 124 against, and 13 undecided.

Several European nations have withdrawn their support for Infantino, while European governing bodies Uefa, Concacaf, and AFC have accused him and Fifa of deception. Within these confederations, dissenting members have backed Infantino, particularly in Asia, where many associations have not yet made their position clear. Mexico, a member of Concacaf, has come out in support of Infantino, and the USA and Canada have shown support for Concacaf's stance.

New Zealand has also broken ranks with the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). Infantino still has strong support from Africa and South America, which could help him secure votes from AFC and Concacaf members.

Saudi Arabia, which will hold its own football leadership elections in August, has yet to make a public decision but could influence the views of other nations in the region. Infantino has shown no desire to step down, but if Fifa Council members attempt to force his resignation at an emergency meeting, he could face removal. The council comprises members from Uefa, AFC, Caf, Concacaf, Conmebol, and Oceania, and it is unlikely to occur.

A challenger to Infantino may emerge by the November deadline, with Victor Montagliani from Concacaf and Sheikh Salman from AFC seen as potential candidates. The map of votes could change significantly based on who decides to stand against him.
