The Asian Football Confederation has endorsed Gianni Infantino for another term as Fifa president in an apparent turnaround in its stance from two months ago when it criticised the head of soccer’s world governing body for a breach of trust.
AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, speaking at the body’s extraordinary congress meeting in Tokyo on Friday, embraced Infantino with a large hug in front of the membership as he delivered his endorsement.
