Infantino Challenges FIFA Rules
The human rights organization "Vere Square" has urged FIFA, the international football federation, not to approve Gianni Infantino's candidacy for a new presidential term, citing that he is ineligible due to having reached the maximum allowed tenure of three terms. They argue that attempts to exclude his first term—which began after Sepp Blatter's resignation and is considered a continuation of an incomplete term—violate FIFA regulations. The organization has submitted a complaint asserting that this interpretation conflicts with clear rules prohibiting any president from serving more than three terms, and they question the transparency of the decision made in 2022 prior to the World Cup final in Qatar, which they deem unjustified. It is worth noting that Infantino is currently under scrutiny ahead of his upcoming meeting in March 2024, where a new term will be discussed, amid calls from European, Asian, and American football associations for transparency and a more cautious approach regarding his candidacy.
