MEXICO AND ARGENTINA LINE UP BEHIND INFANTINO TO DEEPEN FOOTBALL’S CIVIL WAR

Mexico has publicly backed FIFA president Gianni Infantino, breaking ranks with the rest of Concacaf. The move, announced in a statement this week, signals a possible shift toward Conmebol for Mexican football and intensifies the ongoing debate over FIFA’s governance.

According to Sport | The Guardian, Mexico’s endorsement follows Concacaf’s call for a thorough review of FIFA after the World Cup sell‑off debacle, and aligns with UEFA’s demand for meaningful reform. The federation also expressed support for Infantino amid increasing pressure from Norway, whose representative, Klaveness, has urged the president to resign citing a loss of trust. BBC Sport and BBC News report that while Norway pushes for Infantino’s resignation, Mexico and Argentina have reiterated their support for the president.

The decision comes amid growing scrutiny of FIFA’s leadership and governance, with several national associations and continental bodies calling for change. Mexico’s stance could alter the balance of power in international football politics.

• Mexico publicly supports FIFA president Infantino, breaking from Concacaf.
