Five contenders for FIFA presidency

The article discusses Gianni Infantino's failure to achieve his plans to attract billions of dollars in investments for major tournaments like the World Cup, which threatens his chances of being re-elected for a new term during the upcoming General Assembly elections scheduled for March in Morocco.
