DOHA, Qatar, Nov 18 (AP): FIFA president Gianni Infantino is getting four more years in charge of soccer's governing body after no candidate stepped up to challenge him.
FIFA said Thursday the 52-year-old Swiss lawyer was the only person to enter the race by the time the deadline passed overnight - exactly four months before election day on March 16 in Kigali, Rwanda.
Infantino won a five-candidate race in 2016 to replace Sepp Blatter and was re-elected unopposed in 2019. He's now set to stay in the job beyond the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
