10月2日：在吉达举行的董事会会议后，阿拉伯足球协会联盟（UAFA）表示支持国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺。
Oct 2 : The Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) expressed its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino after a board meeting in Jeddah on Thursday.
此前，包括卡塔尔和2030年世界杯联合东道主摩洛哥在内的六个阿拉伯足球协会的负责人已于8月宣布支持因凡蒂诺。
Six heads of Arab associations, including Qatar and 2030 World Cup co-hosts Morocco, had previously announced their backing for Infantino in August.
因凡蒂诺正在寻求在3月的连任，但自7月提出出售国际足联赛事（包括世界杯）部分股权的提案后，他面临越来越多的反对。
Infantino, who is seeking re-election in March, has faced growing opposition since his bid in July to sell a stake in FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup, which he was forced to abandon.
在第八十一届董事会会议后发布的声明中，代表22个阿拉伯足球协会的UAFA对国际足联最近加强与各国、地区及洲际足球组织合作的努力表示赞赏，并表示支持因凡蒂诺，称这位瑞士人‘增强了全球足球界的团结’。
In a statement issued after its 81st board meeting, UAFA, which represents 22 Arab associations, welcomed FIFA's recent efforts to strengthen cooperation with national, regional and continental football bodies.
此前，代表八个国家足球协会的海湾足球联合会也于周二公开支持了因凡蒂诺。
It also offered its support for Infantino, saying the Swiss had "strengthened unity across the global football community".
周三，瑞士足球协会成为最新一个撤回对因凡蒂诺连任支持的国家足球协会。
The statement comes after the Gulf Football Federation, which represents eight national associations, also publicly backed Infantino on Tuesday.
欧洲足球管理机构欧足联承诺在11月截止日期前推出一位竞争对手候选人。
On Wednesday, the Swiss Football Association became the latest FA to withdraw its support for Infantino's re-election bid. European football's governing body UEFA has pledged to present a rival candidate before the November deadline.
上周，因凡蒂诺致信国际足联的211个会员协会，提议对国际足联的决策流程进行独立审查。
Last week, Infantino wrote to FIFA's 211 member associations proposing an independent review of the governing body's decision-making processes.
