Gianni Infantino has reaffirmed his intention to run for re-election as FIFA president next year, dismissing growing demands for his departure that have escalated due to controversy surrounding his leadership.
The 56-year-old Swiss official faced reporters at the Women’s Under-20 World Cup in Poland on Saturday but declined to address questions regarding his future. Infantino is currently under severe scrutiny following a proposal to sell equity stakes in FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, to private investors.
UEFA has been at the forefront of calls for Infantino to step down, intensifying the pressure on the FIFA leader as he moves forward with his campaign for another term.
