Confederations Demand Infantino Step Down | Australia News

Three major soccer confederations are demanding FIFA President Gianni Infantino step down, accusing him of betraying the sport by attempting to sell World Cup rights to investors — a move they call a fundamental breach of trust. UEFA is threatening to withdraw national teams from global tournaments until he resigns, while AFC and CONCACAF back the stance, arguing football belongs to fans, players, and clubs — not any individual leader. FIFA has apologized and defended Infantino, but critics point out only its own staff were at the meeting, not elected officials or member associations. This isn’t just about a bad deal — it’s a crisis of leadership and trust in world football. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
