Gianni Infantino is actively pursuing his re-election campaign to lead FIFA, scheduled for 2026. The Italian executive is intensifying contacts with national federations, notably by mobilizing at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Despite abandoning the controversial television rights sale project, Infantino is consolidating his political standing. No rival candidate has emerged so far to challenge his succession.
