Will anyone stop re-election of Infantino as Fifa president?

Story

Little more than two months since news broke of Infantino's Fifa Forward Enterprise proposal, the chances appear slim that Gianni Infantino might be removed as president.

Gianni Infantino was first elected as Fifa president in 2016.

Remember when pretty much everyone thought Gianni Infantino's days were numbered as Fifa president?

It is little more than two months since news broke of Infantino's Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal, the plan to sell off commercial rights in the World Cup to a private equity firm.

Infantino, who had seemed impregnable as the head of world football's governing body, suddenly appeared not only to be vulnerable, but in fact in an untenable position.

Yet, with 40 days to go until the 18 November deadline for nominations for the presidential election, senior figures in world football now firmly believe the 56-year-old may well be unopposed.

Uefa thought that FFE had given it the chance to cut the head off the snake.
