Gianni Infantino will stand for re-election as FIFA president, world football’s governing body has officially confirmed.

The administrative chief will contest the leadership vote scheduled for March, putting forward his candidacy to extend his tenure at the helm of the international federation.

World football's governing body verified the development, confirming that the incumbent president will seek another term in office when member associations convene for the election next March.

The announcement establishes the timeline for the presidential process, with the election window set to formalise the governance structure of the world body heading into the next administrative cycle.

Infantino's decision to stand sets the stage for the March vote, where member associations from across the global confederations will determine the leadership of world football.

The formal election proceedings will be overseen by FIFA's regulatory bodies in accordance with statutory electoral guidelines ahead of the designated polling date.

Further details regarding the final list of candidates and formal electoral timelines are expected to be administered through official FIFA channels in the buildup to the March congress.
