Infantino seeks fourth FIFA term
FIFA, the International Football Federation, announced that its Swiss President, Gianni Infantino, will run again for the federation's presidential elections scheduled for March 2027. This comes despite the pressures and criticisms he has faced over the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" plan, which has caused a crisis within the global football system. Although European, Asian, and American federations oppose his bid, Infantino enjoys strong support from the African Union (CAF), the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), as well as backing from Saudi Arabia. The election will take place in Rabat, with 211 federations participating, and a candidate needs at least 106 votes to win. Meanwhile, the European Union has initiated legal proceedings against FIFA's private investment plan.
