According to an official statement, all CAF Member Associations were aligned in their position.
“The CAF Member Associations unanimously agreed to support Gianni Infantino to be re-elected as President of FIFA for the period 2027–2031.”
The 2027–2031 election is expected to hold in Morocco, with Infantino potentially serving until 2031 due to a ruling that his initial term didn’t count toward the 12-year limit.
