FIFA issues apology and backs Infantino after Rabat
FIFA, the International Football Federation, renewed its full support for its president, Gianni Infantino, after an emergency meeting in Rabat, following the cancellation of the project to sell a stake in commercial rights for tournaments, which aimed to raise $4.2 billion to fund the development of football. FIFA acknowledged the importance of revising the approach to the project and offered apologies to the members, while reaffirming its commitment to protect its reputation from attacks. Despite the project's cancellation, internal and external criticisms continued, including some European federations withdrawing their support. Officials such as Luis Figo and Laura McAllister shared their opinions on the crisis, while Infantino seeks to gather backing from international and external federations in preparation for the presidential elections scheduled for 2027 in Morocco.
