“We must support him”: Gianni Infantino clings to power at FIFA and former footballer Samuel Eto’o wants him to stay
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported51m ago
FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces a complex political landscape regarding his bid to remain in power, driven by recent controversies, mounting criticism, and a failed attempt to push through a specific initiative.
While the situation initially made his resignation seem inevitable, support and opposition among member associations remain divided. The Gibraltar Football Association announced it is withdrawing its backing for Infantino's upcoming presidential mandate, reversing its initial stance.
Conversely, former footballer and current Cameroonian Football Federation president Samuel Eto'o has reaffirmed Cameroon's support for Infantino. Additionally, Eto'o has publicly called on the FIFA leadership to revisit the controversial concept of privatizing the World Cup tournament.
