Gianni Infantino Faces Opposition Over FIFA Fourth-Term Bid Ahead of 2027 Election
Gianni Infantino's bid for a fourth term as FIFA president faces increasing opposition ahead of the 2027 election. Human rights group FairSquare argues he has exceeded the three-term limit, challenging FIFA's interpretation that his initial partial term does not count. The Scottish Football Association has withdrawn support, and several football confederations have expressed concerns about his leadership and recent proposals. The FIFA Congress vote is scheduled for March 18, 2027, in Morocco.
