FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he will stand for re-election in the next presidential vote, which is scheduled for March 2027. Multiple outlets report that FIFA has confirmed his candidacy, with the election taking place at the 77th FIFA Congress.
Euronews specifies the date as Thursday, 18 March 2027, in Rabat, Morocco. Other reports broadly describe the vote as occurring in March, without adding the venue or exact day. Yahoo Sports adds that Infantino, who has led FIFA since 2016, is seeking what would be his fourth term, which is described as the maximum allowed.
Sky News also notes that Infantino declined to answer certain questions from Sky News about his future in the role, while indicating that “nothing has changed.” Across coverage, the main points focus on FIFA’s confirmation of his bid and the timing of the election, with differences mainly in added context such as the congress date and term length.
