Infantino remains FIFA president following crisis meeting

Gianni Infantino will continue to serve as FIFA president following a meeting of senior executives in Rabat, Morocco, on Wednesday. The gathering was convened by Infantino to address mounting criticism regarding his failed proposal to sell off commercial and event operations related to the World Cup.

While Infantino secured the backing of the governing body’s management board, the organization acknowledged that mistakes were made during the process. The meeting served as a response to calls for his resignation, allowing the president to maintain his position despite the controversy surrounding his leadership and the botched commercial initiative.
