Ahead of February's presidential vote, the Italian candidate and UEFA general secretary has pledged a 40-team World Cup and greater transparency within the governing body.
Gianni Infantino has revealed his 11-point manifesto ahead of this year’s FIFA presidential election, in which he pledges to increase the number of teams at a World Cup to 40 and improve transparency throughout the organisation.
Infantino is one of five candidates standing to succeed Sepp Blatter at the end of a turbulent period for football’s governing body, with Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, Jerome Champagne, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al-Khalifa and Tokyo Sexwale also hoping to win over each of the voting members.
