Infantino Faces Japan Bid

Kozo Tashima, honorary president of the Japan Football Association and a candidate for the FIFA presidency, said governance was the organization’s biggest problem. He pledged to preserve what was good and change what he considered bad. He put his chances of defeating Gianni Infantino at around 20 to 30 percent and said he was seeking support from six associations. Candidates must be backed by at least five associations and submit their nominations by November 18. The election will be held in March, as Infantino seeks a fourth term with the support of several of FIFA’s 211 member associations.
