The CAF's backing is significant, as each of the 211 countries associated with FIFA has the right to vote in the election. The definition of candidates for the FIFA presidency will be decided in 40 days. The opposition, led by the UEFA, Concacaf, and AFC, has published a joint manifesto against Infantino's re-election. This opposition was organised after the Copa do Mundo, in response to Infantino's plan to create a private entity to centralise commercial and sporting rights for FIFA tournaments. The UEFA is the main articulator of this opposition.
