Ben Sulayem poised for smooth FIA re-election as rivals falter

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem appears on track for a straightforward path to re-election next December as prospective challengers struggle to mount viable campaigns. The current administration’s position looks increasingly secure, with opposition efforts reportedly losing momentum.

A clear runway

While formal candidacies are yet to be finalised, the indications suggest limited competition for the top job, giving Ben Sulayem a strong platform to continue his agenda into a new term.

What to watch

• Any late-emerging challengers and their platforms.
• Member-club sentiment as the election window approaches.
• Continuity of ongoing governance and sporting initiatives under the current leadership.

With the political landscape tilting in his favour, attention now turns to how the FIA’s priorities will be shaped if Ben Sulayem secures another mandate.
