Gianni Infantino's position as Fifa president is growing increasingly untenable with Wales and England set to withdraw their support in the Swiss-Italian after he scrapped his controversial plan to sell off stakes of the World Cup to private investors.
Uefa was among numerous footballing bodies to say it had lost confidence in Infantino after its 55 member ****** ociations insisted they would not participate in any Fifa tournament until plans for the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) were withdrawn, confirming they would even have boycotted the next World Cup - which eventually forced Infantino's climbdown late on Friday evening.
Concacaf, the governing body for North America and the Caribbean, reiterated their own concerns over the lack of consultation and rejected the proposal, as did the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) who called for an "urgent review of its governance" at Fifa – piling more pressure on Infantino.
As once-loyal strongholds begin to turn on him less than a year out from the next Fifa presidential election in March 2027, could this be the end of Infantino?
Here are six candidates that could challenge Infantino for Fifa's presidency:
