Infantino Faces FIFA Election Battle

Gianni Infantino's FIFA presidency bid is in jeopardy as multiple federations withdraw support following controversy over World Cup profit share plans.

The FIFA presidential race has intensified as Sweden and Wales have withdrawn their support for Gianni Infantino's re-election bid, with the English Football Association reportedly set to follow suit. These moves follow similar rebukes from Europe's UEFA and North America's CONCACAF, creating significant obstacles for the incumbent president.

Infantino's leadership has faced mounting criticism from football fans and clubs over his now-abandoned plans to sell shares of World Cup profits to private investors. Despite leading FIFA to record World Cup success, the ongoing controversy has threatened his position as he seeks to extend his presidency. sportbet.rodeo
