FIFA’S POSITION

In a statement published on 8 August, FIFA said it would not support any process concerning its presidential election that was inconsistent with its Statutes, democratic procedures and established governance framework. FIFA said its president had been democratically elected by its member associations and continued to serve with their mandate.

WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE

Reuters did not report that a motion had been filed, that a confederation had adopted a formal resolution or that an institutional process had been agreed.

WHAT REMAINS UNRESOLVED

Because Reuters reported discussions rather than a filed proposal, the eventual procedural outcome remains unconfirmed. InFIFAntiNo records only the reported discussions and does not present them as a decision by a confederation, the FIFA Council or the FIFA Congress.
