Event coverage
AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa endorsed Gianni Infantino for a fourth term as FIFA president, saying Asia was united behind him. Infantino is seeking a term through 2031 and said he had apologised at a FIFA Council meeting in Zurich for how the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal was handled. The proposal, which would have brought private investment into commercial rights linked to major FIFA competitions, was abandoned after criticism. The report says some European associations, including Germany and England, remained unconvinced by the apology. Infantino’s claims of broad support do not establish how many associations back him or whether he will face a challenger.
