Wales rescinds support for Infantino re-election
Wales has announced that it will withdraw its support for Gianni Infantino's bid for a new term as FIFA President from 2027 to 2031, following the failure of a plan to sell a share of the World Cup rights to raise $4.2 billion from private investors. Infantino had proposed this plan, which faced widespread opposition and led to a loss of trust from European federations and CONCACAF, damaging his chances of re-election. He is also facing criticism due to deteriorating governance and negative opinions about his leadership, especially as support from some national associations has waned and potential legal investigations may be on the horizon—factors that could complicate his position ahead of the upcoming elections in March.
