Briefings

A former FIFA governance chief, Miguel Maduro, stated that Gianni Infantino is ineligible for re-election due to FIFA's statutes, which limit a single individual to three terms. This claim emerged on November 4, 2026, during a period where Infantino had served as president for two terms prior to this announcement.

Key points

• Former FIFA chief Miguel Maduro claims Gianni Infantino is ineligible for re-election based on FIFA statutes limiting one person to three terms.
• Infantino served as FIFA president for two terms before Maduro's statement regarding eligibility.

Context

The statement addresses a potential succession crisis in FIFA leadership, where a former executive argues the governing body's rules prevent a single individual from holding office for more than three consecutive terms.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to Maduro's assertion of eligibility; specific dates of Infantino's previous terms are not provided, and the source does not confirm the validity of the statutes cited.
