Scottish Football Association reveals Gianni Infantino support

The Scottish Football Association reveals that it will vote for Gianni Infantino in FIFA's presidential election on Friday.

The Scottish Football Association has confirmed that its vote at the upcoming FIFA presidential election will go to Gianni Infantino.

The 45-year-old is one of five candidates, along with Prince Ali, Sheikh Salman, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne, that is battling to replace Sepp Blatter in Friday's election.

"The board of the Scottish FA is clear that Gianni Infantino is the best candidate possible to lead the governance reform required at FIFA," said Scottish FA's chief executive Stewart Regan.

"He has been a highly respected General Secretary of UEFA for many years and has performed that role with skill, diplomacy and professional integrity.

"As well as having the support of the majority of UEFA's national associations, he also has the support of many across the world in other Confederations. We believe he has the leadership qualities required to push forward change at world football's governing body and for those reasons we will be voting for Gianni Infantino."

The Swiss-born official is the third favourite with the bookmakers to win the race.
