The Asian Football Confederation has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as FIFA president.
Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, 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’s bid to continue in the role.
The summary does not specify when the endorsement was made, how it was decided, or whether the confederation issued a statement explaining its reasoning. It also does not give details about the length of the proposed term or the process and timing for selecting FIFA’s president.
An endorsement is not, by itself, confirmation that Infantino has secured another term. The information provided does not state whether other candidates are seeking the position, how many member associations support him, or what steps remain in the selection process. No vote result or final decision is included.
The Asian Football Confederation’s endorsement is the only stated development. The summary does not include comments from Infantino, FIFA, or other football confederations, and it provides no additional background on the circumstances surrounding the announcement. Those details are therefore not included here.
Further information about the date, decision-making process, and next steps was not provided. Based on the available details, the confirmed point is limited to the Asian Football Confederation’s endorsement of Infantino for another term as FIFA president.
