Israel withdraws support for Infantino in FIFA election

Israel has announced it will not vote for FIFA president Gianni Infantino in the March 2025 election, withdrawing its previous support due to a trust crisis between UEFA and FIFA.

Israel's football federation has decided to withdraw its support for Gianni Infantino in the upcoming FIFA presidential election scheduled for March 2025. The decision follows a letter from federation president Moshe Zuares, citing a growing trust crisis between UEFA and FIFA that forces a reassessment of the future direction of world football. fishroad-app.com

Zuares said: 'In light of the situation that has arisen, we have no other choice but to withdraw our support letter, hoping that a constructive dialogue among all parties can restore a shared vision for the sport.' The move comes after recent criticisms of Infantino, including the resignation of FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, and reflects a shift in Israel's stance.
