Gianni Infantino, FairSquare and FIFA
Monday
Advocacy group FairSquare has formally asked FIFA’s Review Committee to rule Gianni Infantino ineligible to stand for president again. It argues that another victory would constitute a fourth term and breach FIFA’s statutory three-term limit for presidents.
FIFA previously decided Infantino’s 2016 to 2019 period did not count because he completed Sepp Blatter’s interrupted mandate. FairSquare is challenging that interpretation, creating a formal governance dispute over whether Infantino can legally contest the 2027 election.
