The 52-year-old Swiss has already received backing from South America, Asia and Oceania.

This was in spite of the controversies surrounding the upcoming Qatar World Cup and his botched plans to hold the event every two years.

The German football federation had announced on Wednesday that it would not openly support Infantino but would also not nominate an alternative.
