Gianni Infantino’s tenure as FIFA president is coming under increasing scrutiny ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with criticism coming from several football-related quarters. Citing a lack of faith in FIFA’s leadership, the Scottish FA has withdrawn its support for Infantino’s reelection; disagreements have also surfaced on the degree of his support in Africa. FIFA’s three-term limit should bar Infantino from competing for office again, according to governance group FairSquare, which is also contesting his ability to run for another term.
