Europe criticizes Infantino over dominance response to Vigo
The article discussed Hussein Khreijja's defense of Gianni Infantino, the President of FIFA, against European criticisms accusing him of trying to diminish Europe's dominance over global football. Khreijja pointed out that the offensive campaigns are fueled by European circles' fears of losing control, noting that Infantino is working to empower smaller and developing associations by providing them with greater financial resources, with the aim of making football more global and competitive. He emphasized that European criticism mainly revolves around their fear of declining influence, highlighting that Infantino is actively inviting participation in expansion projects. Khreijja saw some of these criticisms as double standards, especially considering Europe's own large investments, while they oppose FIFA's funding from external sources. He also attacked former star Luis Figo after his criticism of Infantino's policies, considering Figo's comments unjustified, and recalling Figo's transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000 as an example of personal interests that should disqualify him from judging. Khreijja explained that the main challenge lies in restoring balance among global powers within football, noting that most attacks come from Europe as they seek to maintain their dominant position.
