Motsepe: FIFA’s 211 Member Associations Must Decide Infantino’s Future in 2027

CAF President Patrice Motsepe says Gianni Infantino’s future as FIFA president should be decided by FIFA’s 211 member associations during the organisation’s March 2027 election. Motsepe’s comments come as Infantino faces criticism and calls to resign from some European and other football bodies over governance concerns, including a controversial proposal for private investment in global tournaments.

Calls to resign may be loud, but the election process still gives member associations the formal say on the presidency.

The debate will be clearer if member associations explain their priorities before March 2027 rather than reducing everything to personalities.
