Pressure on Gianni Infantino increases as Uefa members prepare to oppose re-election

European football associations are preparing to withdraw their formal letters of support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president. This coordinated move by UEFA members signals a significant escalation in the political pressure facing the current leadership, as internal opposition to his tenure grows among European nations.

The initiative reflects a broader push to challenge Infantino’s position within the organization. By retracting prior endorsements, these member nations aim to demonstrate a lack of confidence in his presidency and increase the momentum toward his removal from the post.
