Infantino awaits a setback before Morocco event

The French Football Federation, led by Philippe Diallo, has decided to withdraw its full support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino and to join the European Union coalition opposing him. They commented on his performance, describing it as authoritarian and alleging that he has been involved in dubious deals related to selling World Cup broadcast rights to close circles aligned with Trump. The French Federation’s Executive Committee is expected to announce its final decision regarding support for Infantino in the upcoming FIFA presidential election scheduled for March 18 in Morocco, amid increasing criticism within the European Union. This stance forms part of broader protests by European federations, which accuse FIFA’s current management of deviating from the principles of football and pursuing personal interests. Philippe Diallo’s strong remarks also touched on issues like the distribution of World Cup revenues and changes to the financial system. This move represents a rebellion within the European Union against Infantino, who is seeking a second term despite the controversy surrounding his decisions.
