Overview

• The FIA named 29 candidates eligible for the World Motor Sport Council, from which presidential hopefuls must select seven regional vice-presidents by October 24 under election rules.
• South America has only one eligible nominee, Brazil’s Fabiana Ecclestone, who is already on Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s re-election team and cannot appear on any rival list.
• Africa’s two eligible nominees, Kenya’s Amina Mohamed and Mozambique’s Rodrigo Rocha, have declared support for the incumbent, with Rocha included on his presidential slate.
• Declared challengers Tim Mayer, Laura Villars and Virginie Philippot have not announced complete teams, leaving them unable to meet the region-balanced list requirement.
• The FIA Nominations Committee has final authority over eligibility and will not comment on individual cases, with the presidential vote scheduled for December 12 in Tashkent.
