Belgian Union withdraws support for Infantino
The Belgian Football Association has decided not to support Gianni Infantino's bid for a new term as head of FIFA, citing issues related to transparency and mismanagement within the organization. The Belgian federation, in coordination with UEFA, requested clarifications regarding the decision-making process surrounding the plan to place World Cup revenues into a publicly accessible commercial company—a project that was later abandoned. Belgium also sought explanations about the incident involving the red card handed to American player Folarin Balogun during the 2022 World Cup, which sparked controversy after interference by former U.S. President Donald Trump. While Infantino is running for a fourth term until March 2027, FIFA's administration is facing widespread criticism from European associations over its methods, despite backing from some African and South American federations. The elections are scheduled for March 2027 in Rabat, Morocco, with the candidate list expected to be announced prior to that.
