If there is only two candidates then he only needs 106 votes. If there is more then two candidates, he needs 141 votes (two-thirds). Then after the first round of voting, he would only need 106. If my math is correct, the election is over before it even stated.

For:

• Asian Football Union (CFU): 47 members
• Caribbean Football Union (CFU) (Sub of CONCACAF): 25 members (out of 31)
• Confederation of African Football (CAF): 54 members.
• CONMEBOL (South America): 10 members.
• OFC (Oceania Football Confederation): 10 of 11 members (New Zealand does not).
• Sub-bloc / National Breakaways: Mexico and Latvia have openly backed him, so let’s go 2 members.

If my current math is correct, Infantino likely has 148 votes already.

Against:

• UEFA: 54 members (Does not include Latvia)
• North American Football Union (Sub of CONCACAF: 2 members (US and Canada; does not include Mexico)
• Sub-bloc / National Breakaways: New Zealand (1 member)

Opposition Votes: 57

Unknown:

• UNCAF (Central American Football Union) (Sub of CONCACAF: 7 members
