CAF Unanimously Votes to Support FIFA President Gianni Infantino

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee unanimously confirmed its support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino on August 6, 2026, ahead of his re-election bid in March 2027.

CAF, representing 54 of FIFA's 211 member associations, endorsed Infantino's decision to drop a controversial proposal to sell a stake in future World Cup commercial revenue.

The support provides a significant boost to Infantino, who faces opposition from UEFA and other confederations that have threatened to boycott future World Cups while he remains in office.
