FIFA President Gianni Infantino laid out his manifesto for reelection as the champion of poorer soccer nations on Sunday as UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin ruled out running against him but said he thought there would be an opposition candidate.Almost a month after Infantino tabled his now abandoned proposal to create a commercial body for FIFA tournament rights and sell off 20 percent to private investors, the battle for the future of global governance of the world's most popular sport rages on.
European governing body UEFA, backed by the regional blocs for Asia (AFC) and North and Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), has led the opposition and Ceferin suggested that Infantino should stand down.
"There are two options," he told The Rest Is Politics: Leading podcast.
"One option is that he realizes that he doesn't have the support, and that's not only a political support of the ones who vote, but the political support of football community, the political support of fans, the political support of the players, former players, coaches.
"And the second option that he goes to the elections in March, but in that case, I think he will have a candidate against him. I don't know yet who."
