The 54 African federations align behind Infantino: The FIFA boss prepares for re-election

On the eve of the 76th FIFA Congress in Vancouver, CAF president Patrice Motsepe gathered the 54 African federations, which unanimously decided to support Gianni Infantino's re-election for the 2027-2031 term. This unity is rare in the sports world and reflects Infantino's influence on the continent, bolstered by a policy of redistribution and attentiveness to local needs. The next FIFA electoral congress will take place in Morocco in 2027, marking the country's rise on the global football stage.
