According to a report by Britain's “Daily Telegraph” on August 1, local time, UEFA is looking for a candidate to replace Infantino as FIFA president. Earlier, it was reported that FIFA President Infantino proposed a plan to sell some commercial rights in the World Cup to private investors. If he refuses to resign, UEFA plans to remove him through a vote of no confidence. As for the “World Cup Privatization Plan,” UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC, and South American Football Federation all rejected the idea, and Infantino subsequently abandoned the project. UEFA believes that the candidate to succeed Infantino should be a “united person” who can receive support from countries on all continents. The “Daily Telegraph” reports that UEFA does not consider European candidates because it believes that European candidates cannot get enough votes. Currently, potential contenders mentioned include Latin American and Caribbean FIFA President Victor Montagliani, and AFC President Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, who lost to Infantino by a narrow margin in the 2016 election. Infantino, 56, was elected FIFA President in 2016. The Italian succeeded Swiss Blatter, who resigned due to numerous corruption scandals at FIFA. In 2019 and 2023, Infantino was re-elected as FIFA president without a competitor. The next FIFA presidential election is scheduled to be held in Rabat, Morocco in March next year.
