US and Canada oppose FIFA chief despite Trump and Mexico support

The crisis surrounding FIFA President Gianni Infantino is escalating after the American and Canadian football unions joined the Caribbean and Central American Football Union in opposing his policies, especially regarding his attempts to privatize the World Cup rights in favor of an investment fund headed by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner. These criticisms have been accompanied by support from Mexico, one of the hosts of the 2026 World Cup, for Infantino, while Washington and Ottawa have accused him of manipulation and rebellion against the principle that soccer "belongs to no one." It is also worth noting that Infantino faces increasing political and investment pressure, with concerns about the fracturing of international stakeholders ahead of the tournament.
