Victor Montagliani, Gianni Infantino and FIFA
Sunday
Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is seriously considering challenging Gianni Infantino in FIFA’s 2027 presidential election. The development follows the collapse of FIFA’s private-investment proposal and growing calls from UEFA and Concacaf for a broader leadership reckoning.
Montagliani has not publicly declared his candidacy, with his camp focused on the current governance crisis. Nominations close in November, while UEFA is reportedly prepared to support a unity candidate from outside Europe to oppose Infantino.
