Italy cuts backing for FIFA chief
The Italian Football Federation has withdrawn its support from FIFA President Gianni Infantino due to his failure to implement a project to open the door for private investments in the World Cup and other competitions. This comes amid hesitation and rejection from European federations such as England, Ireland, and Wales to support his bid for a new term. This escalation is part of increasing pressure on Infantino, who faces the possibility of stepping down from FIFA's leadership, especially after his plan to secure private investments was scaled back and hints emerged of a boycott by the European Football Union (UEFA). The Italian Federation emphasizes its continued support for merit-based principles and solidarity, as well as its commitment to enhancing the role of fans in the development of football.
