Gianni Infantino officially confirmed his candidacy for the FIFA presidency. The information was confirmed by a spokesperson for the world's governing football body.
Infantino is seeking to remain in the position he has held since 2016, when he took over the presidency following Joseph Blatter's departure amid a corruption scandal.
Infantino's candidacy comes at a time of attempts to rehabilitate FIFA's image, which has gone through a deep crisis in recent years.
With the confirmation of his candidacy, Infantino is expected to remain the favorite to maintain control of the entity that governs international football.
