Scope counts overlap and must not be added together. These are verified public positions, not a forecast of FIFA Congress votes. This is not a complete survey of all 211 FIFA members; an association's absence does not imply a position.

28 further associations are shown on a reported-only basis and excluded from every official counter. A mixed-basis association is shown once, with each position carrying its own evidence status.

Methodology

How this tracker classifies public positions

What is included

An initial systematic sweep of 50 national-association records was completed on 28 August 2026. New or substantively changed records are verified when they are added or updated; Cyprus and the new KNVB 2027 scope were verified on 31 August 2026, and Namibia's official evidence upgrade was verified on 2 September 2026. External trackers and roundups are discovery tools, not evidence. Official association sources are preferred; established independent reporting is used where a stable primary record was not available.

How dates are used

Each actor card shows the latest verification date among that actor's current positions. “Data last updated” marks the most recent change to the tracker dataset. “Page revised” records a technical or editorial change to this page; it does not mean that all 54 actors were reverified.

What is not included

Confederations, leagues, players, fan groups and personal statements are not treated as national-association decisions. A confederation position is never assigned to all its members.

Leadership, efforts and 2027

Support for current leadership or current efforts is not a 2027 election pledge. Opposition to the FFE/private-equity plan is not automatically opposition to a candidate.

Decisions, non-endorsement and personal statements

A formal association decision or official association statement can enter a matching scope counter. Not signing or endorsing now does not by itself mean an association will vote against a candidate. A personal statement remains personal unless a federation decision is publicly established.

Changed positions

The newest verified position within the same association and scope is current. Earlier positions remain in a dated, sourced history and are never counted twice. A leadership transition does not automatically revoke or reaffirm an association position.

Missing associations

The tracker aims to include every public position identified and verified by the review date, but it does not guarantee completeness across all 211 members. It does not fill missing rows with “unclear”; absence is not neutrality, indecision, support or consent. Corrections and additional primary records are welcome.

How sources are used

Direct evidence is an official record, association statement or clearly identified full reproduction. Independent confirmation verifies the same position through established reporting. Context only explains background and never establishes a classification or counter.

Evidence labels

CONFIRMED means the public position itself is supported by the listed evidence. DEVELOPING would identify a still-moving or incomplete public record. Neither label is a verdict.

No election prediction

The counters answer narrow source questions. They do not count expected ballots, do not claim a majority of FIFA's 211 members and do not predict the result of a future Congress vote.

Corrections and updates

InFIFAntiNo keeps superseded positions visible, dates each verification and corrects the current record when stronger or newer public evidence changes the classification. Corrections can be sent through the contact page.
