Infantino to Seek Re-election as FIFA President

FIFA announced that its president, Gianni Infantino, will seek re‑election at the organization’s next congress, scheduled for March 2025. The decision comes as the governing body prepares to hold a vote on the leadership of the sport’s global federation after Infantino’s first term began in 2016.

Infantino has overseen major initiatives such as expanding the World Cup and implementing new governance reforms, but his tenure has also faced criticism over corruption investigations and commercial disputes. The upcoming election will allow member associations to decide whether to continue with his leadership or elect a new president to guide FIFA’s future strategy.

The March congress will also review FIFA’s financial and regulatory frameworks, with delegates expected to vote on a range of proposals that could shape the sport’s governance in the coming years. The outcome will determine whether Infantino remains at the helm or whether a new president will take charge of the world’s football federation.
