The Italian-Swiss Gianni Infantino seems assured of winning a new four-year term in Kigali on Thursday March 16. Propelled in 2016 at the head of a Fifa decimated by scandals, Infantino has no competitor. Gathered in the Rwandan capital for the 73rd Congress of the world football body, the delegates of the 211 member federations will have only one limited choice: to renew by acclamation the 52-year-old leader, alone in the running as in his previous election. in 2019, or mark a symbolic disapproval. The former trusted man of Michel Platini at UEFA (2009-2016), therefore seems certain to remain at the top of world football at least until 2027.
