Infantino Invited to African Summit as He Faces Challenge to FIFA Leadership
- The Confederation of African Football invited FIFA president Gianni Infantino to attend a two-day Strategy Conference in Cape Verde on October 7 and 8, according to correspondence sent to member associations this week.
- Infantino faces a potential leadership challenge ahead of next year's FIFA presidential election, though the 56-year-old Swiss official has confirmed he is standing for re-election despite no credible opponent emerging.
- CAF president Patrice Motsepe, a close ally of Infantino, leads a confederation controlling 54 of the 211 votes that will determine the election outcome in Rabat in March.
- On October 9, FIFA will host a review of the 2026 World Cup led by FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development Arsene Wenger, with national team coaches from every African association invited.
- Opposition from UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and CONCACAF has intensified following the collapse of Infantino's proposal to sell up to 20% of FIFA competition stakes, including the World Cup.
