FA set to withdraw support for Infantino as UEFA considers legal action
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported26m ago
The Football Association (FA) is reportedly set to withdraw its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino, while UEFA concurrently considers taking legal action. This development follows Infantino's failed initiative to sell an approximate 20% stake in the World Cup's commercial rights to private investors, a plan intended to generate up to $4.2 billion.
In a related move, Wales has officially announced it will rescind its backing for Infantino's re-election campaign for the 2027–2031 term. The opposition from national associations and European governing bodies stems from the controversial commercial rights proposal, highlighting growing friction within international football administration.
