MOTORSPORT – MOHAMMED Ben Sulayem has been re-elected as Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) president, the governing body for motorsport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide confirmed yesterday.
This follows the election by the FIA general assemblies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Ben Sulayem now begins his second four-year term, having overseen a period of significant renewal and stabilisation for the organisation since his initial election in 2021.
Over the past four years, the FIA has undergone wide-ranging transformation, improving governance, operations, and restoring the financial health of the federation. The FIA has reversed a 24 million euros ($28m) loss in 2021 to a robust operating result of 4.7m euros in 2024 – the strongest financial result the federation has seen in almost 10 years.
The FIA announced yesterday a 2025 operating result forecast of 4.4m euros, showing continued momentum and sustained financial improvement. This renewed stability has enabled increased long-term investment in member clubs and strategic programmes worldwide.
“Thank you to all our FIA members for voting in remarkable numbers and placing your trust in me once again,” said Ben Sulayem. “We have overcome many obstacles but here today, together, we are stronger than ever.
“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.”
