Mohammed Ben Sulayem re-elected as FIA President

Mohammed Ben Sulayem says he will “continue to deliver for the FIA” after being re-elected as President of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile at the organisation’s General Assembly in Uzbekistan.

The meeting in Tashkent confirmed the election of Ben Sulayem’s Presidential List, with the Emirati running unopposed to secure a second term.

With the 2025 prize-giving ceremony taking place later in the day, the outcome was widely expected, although the election still followed formal FIA procedural steps before being ratified.

“Thank you to all our FIA Members for voting in remarkable numbers and placing your trust in me once again. We have overcome many obstacles but here today, together, we are stronger than ever,” said Ben Sulayem.

“It is truly an honour to be FIA President, and I am committed to continuing to deliver for the FIA, for motorsport, for mobility, and for our Member Clubs in every region around the world.”

The FIA’s announcement also highlighted a series of changes it says were implemented during Ben Sulayem’s first four-year term.

According to the organisation, these included reversing revenue loss, introducing budgetary discipline and making governance reforms it says “have strengthened the FIA’s position as the world’s governing body for motorsport and the leading authority on safe, sustainable, and affordable mobility.”

Ben Sulayem, who succeeded Jean Todt in 2021, will now serve until 2029. Under FIA statutes, a President may serve up to three consecutive four-year terms.
