THE FIFA FAMILY: WHICH CONFEDERATIONS COULD SUPPORT INFANTINO OR TURN AGAINST HIM?

Gianni Infantino faces growing criticism after a bungled World Cup sell‑off plan, prompting several national associations to withdraw support and raising questions about his re‑election. According to Sport | The Guardian, confederations are being evaluated for their potential backing or opposition.

The article notes that the pressure is mounting as countries question Infantino’s handling of the sell‑off and the resulting financial fallout. A Guardian piece accuses FIFA of using ‘blackmail’ to force support for Infantino’s re‑election bid, while The Conversatio highlights FIFA’s failed equity plan and a growing welfare crisis in football, both of which could influence how confederations vote.

Infantino’s leadership is pivotal as FIFA prepares for its next executive election, making the confederations’ positions crucial to his survival.
