FIFA Crisis French FFF Silence on Infantino
Gianni Infantino, the President of the International Football Federation (FIFA), is facing increasing pressure and divisions within the global football system following the abolition of the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" project. Voices calling for his removal and his candidacy in the 2027 elections are growing louder. Despite media attacks from some European federations, particularly from England and Germany, the European Union (UEFA) and 55 national associations are maintaining strategic silence while continuing behind-the-scenes consultations. The French Football Federation, led by Philippe Diallo, has refused to support Infantino and is calling for reforms within FIFA to establish more democratic governance. It appears that the European Union is preparing for a possible confrontation, especially with the upcoming Under-20 Women’s World Cup in September, which could be used as leverage to pressure FIFA’s leadership, in an effort to shift the official stance and signal that European opposition is beginning to transition to more public action.
