Factbox-Soccer-Possible successors for embattled FIFA President Infantino

FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces an uphill challenge ahead of his re-election bid after federations from Serbia, Sweden and Wales withdrew support. The decision followed a failed proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors. Reuters reports that a vote is scheduled for March 18 in Morocco for the term spanning 2027 to 2031. Among potential successors being discussed is Victor Montagliani, president of CONCACAF. Also mentioned are UEFA’s Aleksander Ceferin, AFC president Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, and Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Norwegian football federation president Lise Klaveness is cited as another prominent opponent.
