European official rules out Infantino's FIFA future

The article addresses the criticisms by Cláudio Schiffer, President of the European League Competitions, directed at Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation (FIFA). Schiffer emphasized that Infantino lacks a future in his position due to his increasing influence and decision-making without consulting the involved parties. He stressed the urgent need to reform FIFA and redefine the role of its president, especially after growing doubts about the organization's integrity. Decisions such as awarding the Peace Prize and amending World Cup regulations have undermined public trust. Schiffer also pointed to mounting pressure from continental associations demanding Infantino's resignation and the possibility of a vote to withdraw confidence, despite Infantino’s plan to run for a fourth term. He considered that reforming governance mechanisms is more important than replacing the president.
