Infantino ineligible for fourth FIFA presidency term, former governance chief says

Miguel Maduro, the former head of FIFA’s governance committee, says Gianni Infantino cannot seek a fourth term as FIFA president in 2027. He cites Article 33 of FIFA’s statutes, which limits presidents to three terms. Infantino has been elected three times, but FIFA ruled in 2022 that his 2016–2019 spell, which began after Sepp Blatter resigned, would not count toward the limit. Human rights organisation FairSquare is urging member associations to declare Infantino ineligible before the candidacy deadline.
