FIFA confirms Infantino will run in presidential election
FIFA has confirmed that Gianni Infantino, the current president, will run in the upcoming presidential election scheduled for next March. Despite the controversy surrounding his previous plan to introduce private investment into World Cup events, Infantino remains committed to seeking a fourth and final term. The Swiss 56-year-old announced his intention to stand for re-election in April, and FIFA has now reiterated his decision.
With only 211 federations affiliated to FIFA, Infantino needs a simple majority of votes to secure his fourth term, which would see him serve as head of world football until 2031.
