Infantino Faces Crisis at FIFA
Gianni Infantino faced the biggest challenge of his tenure as FIFA President since taking office, due to his failure to implement a project involving private investors, which collapsed very quickly. This led to a loss of trust and the implementation of plans that centralize decision-making and undermine democracy within the organization. This collapse increased criticism against him, particularly from Michel Platini, who accused him of consolidating power among the wealthy and reducing transparency—drawing comparisons between him and his predecessor, Sepp Blatter. His relations with Donald Trump, which became evident before the 2026 World Cup, as well as investments by a company linked to Joshua Kushner, raised doubts about the independence and sustainability of his leadership. The FIFA presidential elections are expected to be held next March in Rabat, amid fears that the trust crisis may recur and impact his future in the position.
