Mexico and Argentina back FIFA leader
The football associations of Mexico and Argentina expressed their support for Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, amidst criticism directed at him over a proposed plan that was eventually abandoned regarding the sale of some commercial rights for the World Cup. While the African Football Confederation (CAF) unanimously backed Infantino's leadership, the European Union Football Association (UEFA) remained committed to boycotting the World Cup and FIFA tournaments, with the Asian Football Confederation standing alongside UEFA and CAF. FIFA also issued an apology for mistakes related to the proposal to sell shares of commercial revenue, emphasizing the need to review procedures. The fallout from this proposal has sparked controversy and is impacting Infantino's efforts to secure re-election in March 2024, with the Argentine Football Association supporting continued development of the sport under his leadership.
