FIFA President, Gianni Infantino to remain on the saddle for another four more years after no other candidate received backing for election
The leader of football’s governing body is the only candidate up for election.
The football governing body confirmed that only Infantino had the required nomination letters from five of the 211 member federations when the deadline passed at midnight on Tuesday in Zurich, Switzerland.
It was also revealed that most FIFA members had already pledged their support for the incumbent who was first elected in February 2016.
The 48-year-old Swiss lawyer is now expected to pass eligibility and integrity checks for the election on June 5 in Paris.
