Bakersfield, CA, 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 signals the confederation’s support for Infantino continuing in the role, but the available information does not establish the outcome of any process to select FIFA’s president.
No further details were provided about when the endorsement was made, how it was reached, or whether it was unanimous. The information also does not state whether the endorsement followed a vote, identify any officials involved, or give a reason for the confederation’s position.
The announcement provides no information about other candidates, the timing of a presidential selection, or what steps may follow. It also does not describe the scope of the endorsement or indicate whether it carries any formal effect beyond expressing support. Those details remain unconfirmed in the material available for this report.
Infantino is identified in the summary as the current FIFA president, and the endorsement is specifically for another term. No dates, statements from Infantino or the confederation, or additional background were included. As a result, the confirmed information is limited to the endorsement itself and the position for which it was made.
The endorsement should not be read as confirmation that Infantino has secured another term. The information provided does not say that a final decision has been made, nor does it specify when further information may become available. Additional details about the endorsement and the next steps were not provided.
