Gianni Infantino wants to stay Fifa president. The vote is in March 2027 in Morocco. More than 200 football groups support him. These are almost all countries in the world. Infantino leads the Fifa since 2016.
The German football group is against Infantino. They do not support him. Other groups from Europe are also critical. One reason is the case of Folarin Balogun. The player from the USA got a red card. This means he must leave the field.
Donald Trump called Infantino after the red card. Soon after, the Fifa stopped the ban. Many experts think this is wrong. They say: Politics must not change the sport. Infantino says: The decision was free from politics.
A human rights group made a complaint. They say: Infantino is not neutral. He is too close to Donald Trump. But there is no other person for the job. Infantino can stay until 2031.
The World Cup in 2026 brings new changes. The winners get gold rings. This is like sports in the USA. The Fifa wants to make football modern. Every game now has a break to drink.
