Four candidates seek FIFA presidency
The article points to increasing pressure on FIFA President Gianni Infantino following the controversy surrounding his proposal to sell his media rights and redistribute bonuses among members. This has led to a loss of trust from some continental confederations such as UEFA and CONCACAF, escalating criticism and an internal rift within the organization. Amid this, four candidates are competing to succeed Infantino as FIFA president: Victor Montagliani, head of CONCACAF; Salman bin Ibrahim, head of the Asian Football Confederation; Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain and the European Club Association; and Matthias Grafström, FIFA Secretary General. The announcement of the new president is expected at the Mexico conference in March 2024, with candidacies open until November.
