Infantino To Seek Re-election As FIFA President Despite Failed Investment Plan
U20 World Cup: FIFA president Gianni Infantino will seek re-election for a fourth term as the governing body chief in 2027, despite facing criticism over his now-scrapped plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investment firms.
Infantino, who has been FIFA president since 2016, is expected to contest the election at the FIFA Congress in Morocco next year. The announcement ends months of uncertainty over whether he would seek another term amid growing opposition from several football administrators and associations.
“The FIFA president announced in April that he will stand for re-election in 2027. Of course, nothing has changed. Mr. Infantino will be standing for re-election,” FIFA said in a statement as quoted by The BBC.
