Infantino touts global re-election support amid resignation questions

Gianni Infantino laughed off questions about whether he might resign after FIFA abandoned its FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal to attract private investment in an entity managing commercial rights for major competitions. Three months after calls for his resignation, the FIFA president says he has broad support from member associations. Asian Football Confederation President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa endorsed Infantino for a fourth term on Friday, and Infantino also cited recent visits to Japan and Cape Verde.
