NewzFIFA has confirmed that incumbent president Gianni Infantino will stand for re-election in the upcoming vote scheduled for next March. The announcement follows confirmation that Infantino is expected to continue leading world football until 2031 if successfully re-elected.
The decision comes despite a backlash regarding an earlier, now-abandoned plan by Infantino to introduce private investment into the World Cup. FIFA noted that the president had previously announced his intention to run for re-election in April.
