Ex-players confront FIFA chief
The article discussed the criticisms directed at Gianni Infantino, President of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), by a group of former French international players. These players called for leadership change due to the failure of the plan to sell a share of the World Cup to private investors. The players expressed concern that the core values of football are declining and deviating from the principles they represent. They emphasized that the plan, which was intended to attract $20 billion in investments, faced widespread criticism because it was not consulted with the member associations and encountered opposition from Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Additionally, the President of the European Union Football Association called for Infantino's resignation, stating that current leadership support is no longer sufficient, as FIFA aims to increase investments and job opportunities for national associations.
