FIFA crisis persists despite Infantino's reassurance
FIFA, the International Football Federation, renewed its support for its president Gianni Infantino following an emergency meeting in Rabat. They expressed confidence in him despite widespread criticism of the proposed plan to sell a stake in the commercial rights of FIFA tournaments, which was later withdrawn after a wave of objections from European federations and members of the general assembly. The federation acknowledged that the management of the project needed a different approach, committing to a review to prevent future mistakes, and reaffirmed that all procedures related to the project were carried out in accordance with regulations. Although Infantino withdrew his proposal to raise $4.2 billion by selling a stake in tournament rights, discussions within the football community continued to be dominated by talks of resignation or loss of trust. Nevertheless, Infantino remains a leading candidate for the upcoming 2027 presidential elections, despite the increasing criticism and negative stance from some federations.
