FIFA President Infantino Faces New Crisis
The President of the International Football Federation "FIFA," Gianni Infantino, faces a legal challenge preventing him from running for a new term in the 2027 elections. This comes after the organization FairSquare requested the relevant FIFA committee not to allow him to stand. FairSquare claimed that Infantino has exhausted the maximum number of presidential terms permitted, which is three, despite FIFA’s view that his tenure since 2016 does not constitute a full term because it was a continuation of a previous one. If his candidacy is rejected, it could prevent him from remaining in office until 2031, amid increasing criticism of his leadership regarding FIFA’s governance and management. The committee is reviewing the matter ahead of the election scheduled in Morocco in March 2027.
