Japan FA head Kozo Tashima to stand against Infantino for Fifa presidency

Japan Football Association president Kozo Tashima has announced his bid for the Fifa presidency in March, challenging Gianni Infantino. Tashima claims he offers an honest, sound, and upright attitude, asserting these values are currently essential for Fifa. Infantino faces increasing opposition following a failed July attempt to introduce private investors into a new Fifa commercial entity holding rights for competitions, including the World Cup. Tashima, an honorary president, aims to provide a competitive alternative in the upcoming election.
