2 prediction markets price this story:

• Yes — the market puts it at 10%, with $310 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Gianni Infantino ceases to be President of FIFA in 2026. It resolves to No if he remains in that role throughout the year. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a governance review for an actual departure, but only his actual exit from the presidency counts.
• Gianni Infantino out as FIFA President by December 31? — the market puts it at 7%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Gianni Infantino stops being FIFA president at any point before December 31, 2026, or if he announces his resignation or firing before that date. Temporary suspensions or administrative leave do not count toward a Yes outcome. Readers often mistake the announcement deadline for the effective date of departure.
