Recently, Infantino has made developmental changes to the football world in general. He predicted an expected income of $11 billion in the four years leading up to 2026, as opposed to the $7.5 billion in the last four-year term ending in 2022.

Additionally, after attending late football legend Pele's funeral in January, he requested all countries around the world to name a stadium after the legend. 

“Being FIFA president is a big honor and privilege but also a huge responsibility. You can continue to trust on my commitment", he concluded.
