Mexico and Argentina line up behind Infantino to deepen football’s civil war

The Mexican Football Federation has publicly declared its support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, marking a departure from the stance held by its regional governing body, Concacaf. This decision aligns Mexico with Argentina, which has also signaled its backing for the embattled FIFA leader.

The move is viewed as a significant shift within international football politics, as it creates a divide between Mexico and the rest of the Concacaf confederation. There is growing speculation that Mexico may seek to transition its affiliation to the South American governing body, Conmebol, in light of these developments.
