Eto'o defends FIFA chief
Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), is facing widespread criticism and accusations of errors following a previous proposal to sell shares of the Men's and Women's World Cups to investors, which was later withdrawn. Despite pressures including threats to boycott tournaments and calls for his resignation, Infantino remains in his position with support from some associations such as the African Union and CONMEBOL. Meanwhile, certain European and American federations are increasingly opposed to participating under his leadership. While supporters bet that backing from some countries—particularly African nations—could help Infantino stay in power, the failure of the proposal and corruption allegations have significantly damaged his image. The upcoming elections will determine his future, as a request for a vote of no confidence from just 20% of FIFAs members could lead to the organization convening an extraordinary congress to oust him.
