FIFA officials call for Infantino's resignation
The pressures are mounting on Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, amid widespread opposition within the global sports community due to his plans to privatize a portion of FIFA's tournaments through the creation of a new company. The European Union's UEFA announced a boycott of FIFA's projects if Infantino proceeds with them, and other confederations such as CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation expressed their opposition. Reports indicate there is a plan to withdraw support and potentially pass a vote of no confidence against him, amid resignations and protests from senior officials. This has led Infantino to back down from his project, but the atmosphere remains tense, with some calling for his removal.
