AFC Endorses Infantino for Another Term as FIFA President
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as FIFA president.
Amarillo, TX, October 22, 2026 —
The Asian Football Confederation has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as president of FIFA, according to the information available. The announcement signals the AFC’s support for Infantino continuing in the role, but the details of the endorsement were not provided.
The summary does not state when the endorsement was made, how it was decided, or whether the AFC described any conditions or reasons for its support. It also does not provide details about the process for selecting FIFA’s president, the timing of any vote, or the positions of other organizations or candidates. No statements from the AFC or Infantino were included.
The endorsement is the only confirmed development in the information provided. It should not be taken as confirmation that Infantino has secured another term: the summary reports the AFC’s support, not the outcome of a presidential selection process. Further specifics about the next steps, the number of supporters, and any response from FIFA were not provided.
Infantino is identified in the summary as FIFA’s president, and the AFC is identified as the organization endorsing him. No additional background about either organization’s role in this matter was included. As a result, the scope and practical effect of the endorsement cannot be established from the available information.
The AFC’s endorsement marks a stated show of support for Infantino’s continuation as FIFA president. The timing, decision-making details and eventual outcome remain unspecified in the summary.
