Infantino faces challenge to fourth FIFA term bid

Former FIFA governance chief Miguel Maduro says Gianni Infantino cannot seek a fourth term as president in 2027, citing Article 33 of FIFA's statutes limiting presidents to three terms. Infantino argues his 2016-2019 spell completed an interrupted mandate and does not count. FIFA's election candidacy deadline falls in two weeks, with FairSquare urging member associations to declare him ineligible.
