Who Will Be the Next FIFA President?

[obuoma]

Infantino will remain as FIFA president, he already tendered apologies for some of the things that would have been used to force him to step aside. He has been able to gather support from some of the clocks including Africa and the only major resistance he is facing now is the European block. Infantino is good in politics so he is doing great in handling the crisis that would have seen him out of office, hence he is likely to remain as FIFA president.

Apart from UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have also opposed Infantino's behavior and called for his resignation. However, you are right, it is not right to assume that Infantino is the last one at this moment. Since CAF stands by him and he is running again in the 2027 elections, he has a chance. Another thing is that you have mentioned Infantino's apology in such a way that it seems as if Infantino himself has apologized personally. In fact, FIFA as an organization sent a letter of apology.

Yeah Infantino has gain support of some people, I know that the United States will be supporting him.

There are some reasons that will actually make Infantino not to go back as FIFA president and one of the biggest reasons is the fact that Infantino proposed creating a new commercial company, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), and selling about 20% of its World Cup commercial rights to private investors for roughly $4.2 billion.
A lot of people were against this saying that if this should happen the World Cup won’t be interesting anymore because of the too much advert that will be happening.

After Infantino made that proposal, people start saying he should step down as the FIFA president.
UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC opposed his proposal and announced to boycotts the next World Cup.

This issue is one of the reasons why he may not go back as the FIFA president even though he has abandoned the plan or proposal.

It is not yet known whether he will be able to become FIFA President again, but I suspect and as you said he is very good at politics, he knows diplomatic issues very well and is very careful about his own actions in the face of criticism against him and has been able to gain support from African and Latin American countries. The most important thing is that US President Donald Trump has directly supported him and he has directly said that removing Infantino is a wrong decision.

So he seems to be quite active in restoring his public support before the FIFA presidential election. Now he may have to be more diplomatic in terms of supporting European countries and his close friend Trump will continue to support him.

"It's solely about the financial advantages; everything else is completely ignored," he said.

The European Leagues opposed this because it would add ​more matches to an already packed international ⁠calendar to the detriment of national championships, Schaefer said.

"Nobody knew about the ​plans, not even the FIFA Council, ‌the governing body of FIFA. I was ​very surprised that the president was acting completely alone in this matter."

I saw this article a few days ago...

Do you think Infantino will be forced out early or will he manage to cling to power until 2027? Who would you actually like to see lead FIFA out of this mess?

Infantino is done, but I doubt that anyone new can change much... It's all about the money, and we all know that. One president leaves, another arrives, but the system stays the same. And that system is designed to make more & more money, because that's what drives everything...

Your opinion on this is just precise and very clear to understand, many people agitating that infanito should resign or step aside if given that opportunity will do worse and the earlier we understand that the football is all about making money and whoever wins or becomes the next president after Infantino will also tread the path of making profits so it doesn't change anything just that the rules of the game shouldn't be tamper with so we can still enjoy the beauty of the game.

Infantino has lost the trust of many so I know for sure that he won't return as the president of FIFA and will surely be voted out by the 211 members of FIFA governing body, a due process which is conducting an election will be done to usher him out of office and he won't be forced out of office, let's wait and see whoever becomes the president and how he will rule it out of the mess that it's presume infantino has lead it into.

Only Africa support will take him nowhere, because it's clear that majority of the football bodies don't want him. Everyone would apologize when they see that they want to lose their means of earning a living so, apologizing doesn't mean that he has been forgiven. I don't have much to say until, when the election is over in 2027.

[Zlantann]

Overall, it's pointless to speculate on who will be the next FIFA president, but I highly suspect Infantino will remain. However, there are many worthy competitors. In this position, it's important to maintain a balance between politics and sporting values, and perhaps occasionally implement reforms that are clearly needed. Aleksander Čeferin might be an interesting candidate. But we understand that this position always comes with influential political support.

The UEFA and other countries that are opposing Infantino's presidency might not have enough votes to stop him. He seems to have managed to get the support of CAF (which has a high voting strength) and other countries, which might make defeating him difficult. The current FIFA president has increased the revenue of the organisation, which has made him a darling to many developing countries.

Gianni Infantino has the support of many other countries besides Africa. CONMEBOL (Confederation for South America), Qatar, Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Lebanon and much more are supporting him.

Aleksander Čeferin is the perfect candidate to be the next Fifa president. How they manage uefa Champion league is the perfect example to the favorite candidate. Infantino time is over they ruined the whole Fifa association I don't know why he is still in that's chair they are the worst president in Fifa History they didn't focus on football but they use football as influence of big celebrity the perfect example of recent world cup how they over turn the bulogun red card and many example of how they are the worst president of Fifa Worldcup History.

Javier Tebas and Aleksander Čeferin is favourite to be the next fifa president. What's do you think who will be the next president of Fifa. ?

I don't know how CAF tends to always be on the wrong side of the divide in support of what morally appears to be against the very nature of the sport they claim to protect. Infantino wanted to sell out football, to make it strictly business off and on the pitch, which could have really denied a lot of the sport lovers access to viewing the games live due to the amount tickets fees would have being levied.

The game would have being boring at same because much time for advert would have being created in middle of the games. Infantino or FIFA making an apology doesn't stop Infantino to be ousted in the next FIFA's election. The apology was only coming because Infantino and his clients plans to sell the World Cup tournament to capitalist hands didn't succeed.

I too believed that Infantino would stay, given the way we have seen the situation over the last few weeks. But today I saw a report that the top officials of UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have taken a stand against Infantino. I even saw that some national football associations have withdrawn their support for his re-election.

Aleksander Ceferin is certainly an attractive candidate. He is particularly strong critic of Infantino. But can he be called a real contender now?

It seems Infantino's twilight is approaching, and he'll likely be replaced this year. It will definitely be someone else, even if it's not Aleksander Ceferin, but someone else. In any case, I think it will benefit the entire organization and the football ecosystem as a whole. People in such high-ranking positions should change and bring a fresher, younger perspective, ideas, and a commitment to implementing them. I think that time has come, and it's time for Gianni to retire.

When the favourite infantino is stained with corruption, anyone that is not corrupt will be a better choice, so I believe that Aleksander Ceferin has what it takes to win this election, since he has the backing of these top three continent that has a lot of population and influence.

Another interesting name their is the PSG chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi (PSG President / ECA Chairman). If Aleksander Ceferin fails to secure the position, then Nasser Al-Khelaifi will be the best candidate here, because even infantino knows that their is no way back for him, with the outrageous decisions he made during this past world cup competition.

He may not even get all the African support because a lot of countries in the African region is already blaming him in some of the things they experience on the world Cup. Another thing I also observed but not entirely sure is that he is a good friend of Donald Trump and presently is not every country that is happy with Donald Trump so it might be a disadvantage to him why a lot of countries will not want him to be the FIFA president again, although Infantino apologies might actually be accepted by a lot people since it was only this time people had complaints on him because he was good in other years.

I guess to see him back to back FIFA president sounds like a dystopia story when all of federations against him. However, it seems he will do everything to keep his job as FIFA president. Recently, FIFA sacks its executive who criticized his plan to sell of stakes. So this shows how he's starting to be arrogant after he got so many attack due to his plan.
No doubt he may be doing something crazy in the future to keep his position.

Other than it i've also heard that the banker who suggested him to sell off stakes has linked to the Eipstein files. So i can only guess he may be seeking the help from banker who has relationship in eipstein network to help him.

That seems fine to me. A good critic of Infantino is the one who can bring order. Of course, he's not the chosen one, but I believe that when so many mistakes have been made, as Infantino has, things are the way they are now. I'm sure a different president would be closely watched, because with everything Infantino has done, it's obvious he's cause for alarm.

It's a shame that football has always been riddled with people who aren't interested in the sport itself, but rather in money and corruption.

Most of the decisions he made in the last world cup was to make we the fans excited and entertained so let's not act like he has made the worst decision as he was not the referee officiating the games that cause more controversy in the tournament. He gave lots of nations chances to participate in the world cup and that gavev the nations more excitement and exposure, he has some corruption charges which I think should be investigated and he would not be guilty of all but then again he has made the tournament more exciting and that is a good reason to give him more chance to do more but not including selling of wold cup shares or stake.

This is why I think the campaign against him is not about leadership anymore, it's about hate and politics within football that is why they are looking for way to make sure he is drop from the place and also make sure he doesn't have supporters when it's time to be elected. What did he do that other people have not done before, the same UEFA that is trying to boycott FIFA has turned around many red card, they weren't angry about the card it was because of Trump.

Anyone that says there is no politics in football and want to point fingers does not know how football is played. I have seen the worst of worse in Premier League, Manchester City has gotten away with plenty of allegations, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the most corrupt clubs in Spain, we have many of clubs in Germany, France and Saudi that are all corrupt and are doing comfortable but they want to make Infantino a scape goat because they don't like him.

It's a curruption case now because some of those decisions taken in the world did not favour some set of people or countries, even though a new person comes in today and before the person's tenure would finish there's also going to be some curruption case that will come up before the end of the person tenure. The adminstration before Infantino, both past FIFA and EUFA were both charged for curruption.

I don't think you are getting the full context of why most football lovers are demanding for his replacement, because if you do, you wouldn't be saying this. Who is saying that expanding the world cup is not a fine idea?

It's a fine idea mate, and it gave so many nations opportunity to participate in the world cup, the first in most of them history, but do you know that a US player was given a red card for a dangerous leg breaking tackle, and should be missing the next game, but the US president called infantino and demanded that he should play the game he should have missed. As a fifa president he should have respectful decline, because that is a serious interference in the game, but instead he did as instructed, is that not enough reason for him to get replaced?
Or how will the game of football looks like if other nations president start calling him to overturn a decision taken on the field by the referee, how will the game looks like?
We have not even talked about how he plans selling 20% of world cup TV right to Donald Trump own company, does he think that it's his family business?
He has been bribed, and their is nothing you can tell me to think otherwise.

Inded, how Infantino behaved was disgusting and i say this as a person from his own nation.
Luckily, Spain has proven to be stronger in the field, because the help given to Argentina and also what it did with Trump was truly disgusting.
I don't understand anything about football but i understand this.
