FIFA, Gianni Infantino and his critics
Saturday
FIFA says there is a concerted and ongoing effort to undermine the organisation and president Gianni Infantino as pressure grows over the abandoned private-investment plan and fresh allegations concerning his time as UEFA general secretary.
FIFA rejected what it called unsubstantiated assertions and warned that any presidential challenge must follow its statutes and democratic procedures. The statement represents a direct institutional counterattack as UEFA, Concacaf and individual associations continue challenging Infantino’s leadership.
