Infantino set to take FIFA reelection campaign to Japan to court Asian soccer federations

TOKYO (AP) -- Gianni Infantino's campaign for reelection as FIFA president is set to move this week to Japan and a meeting scheduled for Wednesday with the Asian Football Confederation. This comes after Infantino apologized last week in Zurich, Switzerland, to FIFA's 37-member ruling council -- which he chairs -- for "mistakes" he made in assembling a now-scrapped $4.2 billion sell-off plan for the World Cup. The council is FIFA's main decision-making body, with officials from around the world.
