Gianni Infantino intends to seek re-election as FIFA president in March, the global governing body has confirmed. His announcement comes after facing criticism for previously proposed plans to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investment firms.
These lucrative proposals sparked a significant backlash, with UEFA, European football's governing body, reportedly threatening to boycott all FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, in response. Despite the controversy, Infantino's commitment to re-election remains unchanged.
