Infantino’s FIFA reelection prospects remain uncertain after apology
Gianni Infantino apologized to FIFA’s council over governance controversies, including a scrapped plan to sell part of the organization’s commercial rights.

With nominations still open before March’s election, Infantino’s reelection is not assured.
