One prediction market prices this story:

  • Gianni Infantino out as FIFA President by December 31? — the market puts it at 4%, with $279 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.
