The New Zealand Football Federation withdraws its support for Infantino and calls for "an independent review" at FIFA

The New Zealand Football Federation (NZF) has formally withdrawn its support for Gianni Infantino’s potential reelection as president of FIFA. The announcement, made on August 14, signifies a shift in the federation's stance regarding the leadership of the international governing body.

In addition to withdrawing its support, the NZF has called for an independent review of FIFA’s management and operations. This request for oversight follows the federation's decision to distance itself from the current administration ahead of the organization's upcoming congress.
