Infantino's removal request amid new escalation
Gianni Infantino, the President of FIFA, is facing increasing pressure due to his controversial plans to sell a stake in a World Cup-related project to private investors. He was sent a request not to attend a youth tournament in the Dominican Republic out of concern that his presence might distract from the matches. This comes amid a crisis within the federation involving the leak of secret plans to offer up to a 20% stake in a global project, which has led to a deterioration of trust between FIFA and several continental confederations—especially with the FIFA presidential elections approaching next year. Despite the mounting pressures, Infantino appeared in the Dominican Republic and avoided responding to the criticisms, with limited support from some countries amid rising opposition to his policies and management of the issue.
