Before the recent FIFA Football Enterprise (FFE) controversy, many expected the same outcome in 2027. Any challenger must be nominated by 18 November and submit at least five letters of support from FIFA member associations. If only two candidates contest the election, the winner will need a simple majority from FIFA’s 211 member associations. Across the six continental confederations, backing for the FIFA president varies. So far, Jordan is the only Asian nation to publicly state it will not support Infantino, having opposed him previously.
