Gianni Infantino is set to take his campaign for re-election as FIFA president to Japan this week, with a meeting scheduled for Wednesday with the Asian Football Confederation, according to the supplied material.
The trip follows Infantino’s apology last week in Zurich, Switzerland, to FIFA’s 37-member ruling council, which he chairs. He apologized for “mistakes” he made in assembling a now-scrapped $4.2 billion sell-off plan for the World Cup. The council is the main decision-making body at FIFA, with a global spread of officials.
