Gianni Infantino: FIFA president confirms he will stand for re-election in March

Gianni Infantino will stand for re-election as FIFA president next March. Infantino has been under pressure to resign after he tried to sell a stake in FIFA tournaments to private investors. He has refused to step down and he is likely to face a challenger in the vote which will be held at the FIFA Congress in Morocco next year. Candidates who want to challenge Infantino have to declare their intention to stand in the election by November 18.
