The football association chiefs of 13 European countries that met in Belgrade yesterday have pledged unanimous support to Gianni Infantino in his bid to become FIFA president, the Serbian FA (FSS) said in a statement.
“Unified and unanimous support has been conveyed to Gianni Infantino in his candidacy to become FIFA president,” the FSS said.
“There is a conviction that he is the best candidate to lead FIFA.”
The FSS hosted a convention attended by UEFA secretary general Infantino and the FA chiefs of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Russia, Romania and Turkey.
Swiss Infantino appears to have widespread backing in Europe and promised support from South and Central American countries.
