FIFA President Gianni Infantino is bolstered in his bid for re-election in 2027 following endorsements from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) during FIFA's Congress in Vancouver, Canada. The CAF announced its unanimous support for Infantino, while the AFC emphasized its longstanding backing since his election in 2016. Together, these confederations represent 101 votes in FIFA's presidential election, critical for Infantino's campaign. Additionally, he has secured support from CONMEBOL, the governing body for South American football, which adds another 10 votes. Infantino's leadership has been marked by significant initiatives, including expanding the World Cup to 48 teams and increasing FIFA's funding to member associations via the FIFA Forward Program. Despite controversies, including allegations of political bias and criticism of his initiatives, his presidency has seen record revenues, with expectations of $13 billion from this year's World Cup.
