Infantino faces issues as African intervention impacts FIFA elections
Gianni Infantino, the FIFA President, faces new challenges from 15 out of 54 African federations, as some are considering withholding support for his re-election in 2027. This comes after he publicly criticized plans to sell 20% of the World Cup to investors, fueling doubts about the stance of certain participating African federations, despite the African Union’s Executive Committee fully endorsing Infantino. It is unlikely that opponents like Sheikh Salman will run, and there is strong support for Mohammed bin Salman, with expectations that the outcome of the election will hinge on the financial promises made during the campaign. The deadline to nominate candidates is November 18, with the election scheduled to take place on March 18 in Morocco.
