Infantino claims support of 'vast majority' of soccer ahead of FIFA elections

Key points

• FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he has the support of the vast majority of football, despite strong opposition to his now-shelved plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. In a BBC interview, he said he was elected by 211 member associations and urged respect for the views of most members.
• Infantino is seeking a fourth and final term, with challengers able to nominate until November 18.
• On Friday, the Asian Football Confederation endorsed him for another term, reversing its earlier criticism.
