Infantino Says Majority of Soccer Organizations Back Re-Election Bid
FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced he has the support of the majority of soccer organizations as he seeks re-election, despite a prior failed World Cup plan and calls for his resignation.
Odessa Midland, TX, October 24, 2026 —
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced that he has the support of a majority of soccer organizations as he seeks re-election. The announcement comes despite a previously failed World Cup plan and calls for him to resign, according to the information provided.
The available information does not identify the organizations Infantino says support his bid, explain how their backing was determined, or provide details about the re-election process. It also does not specify which World Cup plan failed, when it was proposed, or who called for Infantino’s resignation.
Those unanswered questions leave the scope of the reported support and the circumstances surrounding the criticism unclear. The announcement establishes Infantino’s claim of majority backing, but no figures or statements from the organizations themselves were provided.
The information provided does not include a date for the announcement, a timeline for the re-election bid, or details of any response from FIFA or other soccer organizations. It also does not state whether the calls for resignation were connected to the failed World Cup plan.
For now, the reported development is that Infantino is seeking re-election and says he has support from most soccer organizations, while the summary also notes a failed World Cup plan and calls for his resignation. Further specifics about the supporters, the plan and the criticism were not provided.
