Gianni Infantino announced he will seek re‑election in 2027, with FIFA’s Congress set to convene in Morocco for a decisive vote. The meeting comes as Infantino enjoys widespread support, particularly from African federations, which hold 54 of FIFA’s 211 votes. His tenure has seen FIFA’s reserves swell to billions, enabling generous funding for member associations. Morocco’s hosting reflects its rising stature in world football, following its historic 2022 World Cup semifinal run and its role as co‑host of the 2030 tournament. With CAF and Morocco already pledging support, Infantino is expected to secure a third and final term, extending his presidency to 15 years by 2031.
