Springfield Holyoke, MA, October 22, 2026 —
The Asian Football Confederation has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as president of FIFA, according to the information provided.
The endorsement indicates the confederation’s support for Infantino’s bid to continue in the role. It does not, on its own, establish whether he will serve another term. No details were provided about the timing or process of the endorsement, the circumstances behind it, or any next steps.
The information also does not specify whether other candidates are seeking the presidency, when a decision is expected, or what the endorsement means for the selection process. The AFC’s reasons for backing Infantino were not provided, and no statement from Infantino or FIFA was included.
As a result, the development can be reported as an endorsement, rather than as a confirmation of a new term. The available information does not describe the scope of support within the confederation or outline any conditions attached to its position.
Further details about the endorsement and the process for determining FIFA’s next president were not included in the information provided.
