The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has reversed its previous criticism of Gianni Infantino, endorsing him for another term as Fifa president. AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al-Khalifa expressed support during an extraordinary congress in Tokyo, highlighting Infantino's commitment to Asian football despite earlier concerns about a breach of trust.
Watch for how the AFC's endorsement influences the upcoming Fifa election dynamics. With Infantino's commitment to increasing funding for Asian football, member associations may rally behind him, potentially reshaping governance in global football.
