Infantino approaches re-election: 117,000 kilometers in private jet forms basis for comeback

Gianni Infantino has been actively campaigning for re-election as FIFA president, traveling extensively and gaining support from various football associations. His recent efforts have shifted perceptions, securing a majority among FIFA's 211 member countries. Despite previous controversies regarding his investment plans, Infantino has made concessions to critics, including promises to investigate FIFA's financial reserves and distribute funds to national associations. However, the search for a serious challenger from UEFA and Concacaf has been slow, with potential candidates hesitant to enter the race. The situation remains dynamic as the election approaches on March 18.
