Donald Trump says it would be a ‘terrible mistake’ to replace Fifa’s Gianni Infantino
Sports3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported48m ago
US President Donald Trump has publicly warned that replacing Gianni Infantino as the head of FIFA would be a “terrible mistake,” describing the international football governing body's president as “fantastic.” Trump's endorsement was shared via a Truth Social post amid mounting pressure on Infantino following a controversial and ultimately doomed World Cup ticket sell-off plan.
Trump's strong backing of the FIFA leader contrasts sharply with the official stance of US Soccer. The national governing body recently issued a statement critiquing Infantino, aligning itself with other major football organizations that have raised concerns over his leadership.
