A rights group called FairSquare is urging FIFA to prevent President Gianni Infantino from running for reelection, arguing he should not be eligible under FIFA's three-term limit statutes. Infantino previously circumvented this limit in 2022 by successfully arguing that his first spell as president should not count toward the limit because it completed an interrupted mandate. The group contends that under FIFA's own rules, Infantino should be blocked from seeking another term.
