FIFA President Gianni Infantino has been handed a significant boost in his bid for re-election, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has publicly expressed their support for his candidacy. The move comes as a surprise to many, given the controversy surrounding Infantino's leadership in recent years. Infantino has faced criticism over his handling of key issues, including a proposed increase in the number of teams participating in the World Cup and concerns over transparency and governance within the sport. Despite these challenges, CAF's endorsement is likely to give Infantino a significant advantage in the upcoming election, which is set to take place in March.
CAF have given under-fire Gianni Infantino their backing, and now say the FIFA president must stand in March's election.
