New Zealand Football has withdrawn support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino's bid for re-election. Infantino courted controversy with the FIFA Forward Enterprise scheme, which proposed carving off the commercial rights to the World Cup and selling 20 percent to private investors. New Zealand Football said FIFA's actions to develop the scheme had contributed to a breakdown in trust and increased division within international football. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
