Rights group calls on FIFA to block Infantino from seeking another term
Human rights organisation FairSquare says FIFA president Gianni Infantino should not be allowed to run for re-election, arguing this would breach the football body's own statutes. The group is urging FIFA to enforce its term-limit rules.
Human rights watchdog FairSquare has called on FIFA to prevent president Gianni Infantino from seeking another term in office, arguing that such a bid would violate the world football governing body's own statutes.
According to FairSquare, FIFA's existing rules impose limits on how long an individual may serve as president, and Infantino running again would go against those provisions.
The organisation is urging FIFA's leadership to abide by its own term-limit regulations and to prevent Infantino from taking part in the next presidential election.
The question of term limits in top-level football governance has drawn scrutiny in recent years, as several international sports bodies have faced criticism over long-serving leaders remaining in their positions.
