Plus de 200 pays ont apporté leur soutien à Gianni Infantino en vue de sa réélection comme président de la FIFA
Seeking re-election as FIFA president, Gianni Infantino enjoys overwhelming support in his campaign. The current president of the organization already has the backing of more than 200 countries, according to The Guardian.
There shouldn't be any contest. FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who has held the position since 2016, is running for re-election for a fourth term. The election, scheduled for 2027, is expected to be a foregone conclusion, according to The Guardian . The British newspaper reports that the Swiss leader already has the official backing of more than 200 of FIFA's 211 member countries, with only a handful of federations still hesitant to offer their support.
Several European countries are among those resisting, including Germany, which has still not officially endorsed Infantino. Some federations feel they are under constant pressure from FIFA to reaffirm their allegiance to the organization, which is not permitted under its code of ethics.
Despite a few hesitant countries, Infantino's re-election at the FIFA Congress in March 2027 is virtually certain. Potential candidates have until November 18th to declare their candidacy, but no prominent figure has expressed concrete interest in the position so far. Criticized for his close ties to Donald Trump, exemplified by the overturning of Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension , Infantino has apparently never been weakened in the eyes of FIFA members for these reasons.
