On 13 June 2018, during the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow, Gianni Infantino announced his intention to seek a second term. By the 5 February 2019 deadline, no other candidates had filed nominations, making him the sole contender for the presidency. He was therefore reelected by acclamation on 5 June 2019 during the 69th Congress in Paris.[2][3][4]
As Infantino was the only candidate, a vote was not conducted. Instead, he was confirmed for another term by a show of acclamation from the member associations present.[5]
