France withdraws support for Infantino's re-election bid

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo10 September 2026 at 14:00

The French Football Federation announced the revocation of its support for Gianni Infantino's re-election bid to the FIFA presidency. The entity thus reversed the position it had previously held.

This change in stance comes at a time of tension in the governance of world football. The French decision may influence other FIFA members to reassess their own support for the current president.

Infantino is seeking a third term at the head of the entity that governs international football. The withdrawal of French support represents a significant setback for his re-election campaign.
