Gianni Infantino

Infantino is the president of FIFA, the international governing body for association football (soccer). He has held this position since 2016 and oversees the organization's major competitions, including the FIFA World Cup and continental championships.

Infantino faces ongoing controversy surrounding his leadership. He has acknowledged making errors in his role, but has retained his position despite the challenges. His support among FIFA's member confederations appears mixed, with African nations showing backing for his continued presidency while UEFA (the European confederation) has taken a firmer stance, including threatening boycotts over unresolved governance issues.
