The Belgian football association will not support Gianni Infantino’s bid for another term as FIFA president, it said on Monday, citing concerns over transparency and governance within world football’s governing body.
Belgium joins a growing list of national associations, including England and Italy, that have withdrawn their backing for Infantino ahead of the FIFA presidential election in March 2027.
FIFA confirmed on Sunday that Infantino would seek another term as president. He is currently the only declared candidate.
The Royal Belgian FA (RBFA) said it was “seeking clear answers regarding the decision-making process and the next steps” surrounding Infantino’s aborted plan to bring private investment into the World Cup.
