Embattled FIFA President Gianni Infantino to stand for re-election

Gianni Infantino has confirmed his intention to run for re-election as FIFA president in 2027, amid growing criticism of his leadership and the threat of legal proceedings. At the opening match of the U20 Women's World Cup in Poland, he avoided questions about his future and stated that the right time to discuss these issues would come later. The 56-year-old announced in April that he would stand for re-election, asserting that nothing has changed.
