The French Football Federation (FFF) has announced it will no longer support the reelection campaign of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, according to FFF President Philippe Diallo. Infantino is seeking another term as FIFA president and has encountered criticism over his attempted sale of a 20% stake in FIFA competitions. This plan, which included the World Cup, was abandoned in July due to opposition from football's regional confederations.
Notably, several European federations, including England and Italy, have also distanced themselves from Infantino since the stake sale proposal fell through. Both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation, as well as North America's CONCACAF, have called for reform at FIFA's leadership and are searching for a viable alternative before the March 2027 election.
Infantino still enjoys backing from South America's CONMEBOL and Africa's CAF. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled to occur on March 18, 2027 in Rabat.
