Welsh FA Withdraws FIFA Support for Infantino

The Welsh Football Association announced on Monday, August 3, that it was withdrawing its support for Infantino's bid to remain as FIFA president. The decision came days after FIFA shelved a controversial proposal to allow external investors.

In a statement, the Welsh federation cited 'failures in terms of good governance, processes, and leadership' as reasons for withdrawing its support. They stated that Infantino has 'lost the confidence of the Welsh federation to remain at the helm of world football' and emphasized that 'not putting the interest of football before all else is a failure we cannot accept.' Currently, Infantino is the only declared candidate for re-election in March 2027 for a four-year term. extract-html.com
