The FA wrote to Infantino withdrawing its earlier letter of support in the first week of August: Sky Sports reported the decision on 3 August, ESPN reported that the English and Welsh associations had both withdrawn, and The Independent's 26 August tally of national associations listed England among those opposing his re-election.
Hunch. Editorial scoring note: All four identified organized-bloc challenges produced a formally nominated challenger; three reached a ballot and two incumbents won. The 2019 no-bloc control is not a fifth failure. Declaration, formal nomination and winning are distinct outcomes; this selected record does not establish general reliability.
The market resolves on an official Football Association statement on thefa.com, or a statement attributed to an FA spokesperson, saying the FA will not support or will not vote for Infantino's re-election, by 23:59 BST on 31 August 2026. Declining to endorse, an undecided position, and comments by individual FA officials speaking personally resolve NO. If that source has not published in time, Sky Sports and BBC Sport settle it.
Four identified organized-bloc challenges produced formal nominees. Three reached a ballot, and two incumbents won. The no-bloc control is outside that count.
