"Favour" is a UK spelling. US English uses "favor."
"In favor of" can mean three things: a thing you prefer, something replacing something else, or winning.
"If I have a choice between chocolate and vanilla, I'm in favor of chocolate."
"I skipped dinner, in favor of dessert." (INSTEAD of eating a normal dinner, I just ate something sweet.)
"The score is 10-50, in favor of our team." (Our team has 50 points.)

Probably the most common use of "in favor of" is when a committee or a jury takes a vote on a decision. The head of the committee will say "All in favor of this decision, raise their hands." The people who support or agree with the decision are "in favor of" it.
