French Football Federation withdraws support for Infantino's FIFA re-election bid

France withdraws support for Gianni Infantino's FIFA re-election bid as trust collapses over his failed World Cup stake-sale plan, joining England and Italy ahead of the March 2027 vote.

France has pulled its backing for Gianni Infantino's bid to remain FIFA president, dealing another blow to his re-election campaign ahead of next year's vote.

Candidates have until November 18 to formally declare, meaning the next few months will likely bring more federations either falling in line behind Infantino or throwing support behind a rival contender—if UEFA and its allies can agree on one in time.
