Asian football endorses Infantino re-election as FIFA president

The head of the Asian Football Confederation on Friday said the region supported Gianni Infantino's bid for re-election as FIFA president following fierce criticism of his aborted World Cup selloff plan."I think that we reaffirm our full commitment, of course, to supporting you and your leadership as you seek a new mandate as FIFA president," said Sheikh Salman, in a significant boost to Infantino's prospects.
