Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if Gianni Infantino is officially elected or re-elected as FIFA President for another term at the FIFA presidential election held during calendar year 2027 (scheduled to take place at the 77th FIFA Congress in Rabat, Morocco, on March 18, 2027).

This market resolves to NO if:

• Another individual is elected as FIFA President at the 2027 election.

• Infantino withdraws, resigns, is ruled ineligible, or does not stand for the election.

• The 2027 election concludes without Infantino winning or being re-elected by acclamation.

If the FIFA presidential election scheduled for 2027 is postponed beyond December 31, 2027, the market will remain open until the next official FIFA presidential election concludes, resolving based on whether Infantino wins that election.

The primary source of resolution will be official communications from FIFA via fifa.com or the official minutes and records of the FIFA Congress.

Background

Gianni Infantino was first elected as FIFA President in February 2016 following the resignation of Sepp Blatter. He was subsequently re-elected unopposed in 2019 and again in March 2023. In December 2022, the FIFA Council determined that Infantino’s initial three-year term (2016–2019) did not count toward the statutory 12-year presidential term limit, legally permitting him to seek an additional term extending to 2031.

Infantino confirmed his intention to stand for re-election in 2027. While he continues to hold significant backing among federations in Africa and Asia, his bid has faced legal and political pushback from European football associations and governance groups questioning the interpretation of the term limit rules.
