But the Swedish Football Association is not behind the re-election.
— The decision we have taken is not to actively support Gianni Infantino in the election for Fifa chairman, says chairman Karl-Erik Nilsson to The soccer channel.
Since there will be no vote at the congress in Rwanda, Nilsson does not know if and how to mark his position.
“We will hold a dialogue with the European associations before the congress,” he says.
As reasons for not actively supporting the Swiss at the re-election, the Swedish confederation chairman states, among other things, what happened around the World Cup in Qatar, for example the migrant worker issue, the demand for a women’s football initiative and better relations with Europe.
Several European soccer nations have said they do not support Infantino.
