Blatter Calls for Female FIFA Leader
Joseph Blatter, the former president of the International Football Association (FIFA), is seeking to change the current leadership of FIFA and has requested that a woman assume the presidency of the federation. He has expressed his respect for the Norwegian federation president, Lis Klevines, who was among those opposing Infantino's policies. He points out that appointing a woman as president would be a historic first since FIFA was founded in 1904, as no woman has ever held this position before. Infantino is facing criticism over his proposal to transform the World Cup into a sports corporation and sell its shares, as well as his subsequent retreat from the plan after pressure from continental confederations. There is also discontent among national federations, and Infantino is preparing to run in the FIFA presidential elections scheduled for March 2027 in Rabat.
