Gianni Infantino confirms re-election bid for FIFA presidency in 2027

In Morocco, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed he will run for re-election in March 2027. This announcement follows significant pressure due to a controversial plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions, which was scrapped after backlash from UEFA and other football organizations. Although UEFA withdrew its boycott threat after FIFA assured the plan would not return, it continues to seek Infantino's removal, reflecting a divided opinion on his leadership within the football community.
