Gianni Infantino to Seek Re-Election as FIFA President in 2027

Gianni Infantino is set to run for re-election as FIFA President in March 2027, according to a recent announcement from FIFA.

Infantino, who has been in office since 2016, faces growing opposition, particularly from European football, following a controversial proposal to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. This plan was ultimately abandoned after facing significant backlash, including threats from UEFA to boycott FIFA events.

If re-elected, Infantino would remain in his position until 2031. Despite inquiries from reporters during the Women’s Under-20 World Cup in Poland, he did not provide further comments regarding his future.
