Incumbent FIFA president, Gianni Infantino is set to extend his reign as the head of the world football body for a third term.
The association is expected to hold its annual congress in the Rwandan capital Kigali on Thursday, where this would be decided.
At the 73rd FIFA Congress, delegates from the 211 member federations will have a limited choice between re-electing the 52-year-old incumbent by acclamation or expressing symbolic disapproval.
Infantino, who was unexpectedly elected in February 2016 following the scandal that brought down Sepp Blatter, ran unchallenged for re-election in 2019 and is now anticipated to continue to lead world football until at least 2027.
While the regulations of the Zurich-based organization allow a president to a maximum of three four-year terms, Infantino has already laid the groundwork to remain in office until 2031, stating in December that his first three years in office do not constitute as a full term.
