Trump backs Infantino after attack
U.S. President Donald Trump defended the position of Gianni Infantino, FIFA President, who faces calls for his resignation from several continental associations over a controversial project aimed at opening the door for private investment in organizing the World Cup and major tournaments, which was later abandoned. Trump emphasized that Infantino has overseen some of the most successful World Cups in North America, expressing his belief that Infantino's departure would lead to the loss of a chance to host a successful and profitable tournament. Additionally, Infantino is considered a candidate for re-election in March 2027 amid crises within FIFA and opposition from some European and American federations to the new conditions proposed in the investment project. They argue that football does not belong to any single entity and that leadership should serve sports institutions.
