Opponents' Strategy to Oust Infantino
The crisis within FIFA is escalating, as a coalition comprising the European Union, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and CONCACAF is considering escalatory steps to force FIFA President Gianni Infantino to step down before the presidential elections scheduled for 2027. The plans include boycotting union meetings, rejecting decisions, and possibly launching tournaments outside of FIFA's framework, especially amid declining support for Infantino, who has received backing from only 15 out of 211 associations. Additionally, Infantino faces legal challenges and threats of boycotting the 2029 Club World Cup, as many clubs and stakeholders oppose expanding the tournaments. Increasing pressure is also mounting for his removal before the elections.
