The FIA has removed term limits for its presidency and other bodies following votes at its Extraordinary General Assemblies in Macau. The change aligns the statutes with other FIA entities and was approved by a supermajority.
Delegates from FIA member clubs worldwide approved the amendments during this week's gatherings. An FIA spokesperson said the updates establish a consistent approach to term limits across all bodies, including the World Councils and the Senate.
The organization also strengthened eligibility criteria for presidential candidates. Prospective nominees must now demonstrate significant experience within an FIA member or body, and the nominations committee was renamed the eligibility assessment committee.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who was re-elected unopposed at the end of 2025 for a second four-year term, remains eligible for a third term in 2029. The 64-year-old president would reach the 70-year age limit during that term.
