Infantino pledges Africa support post FIFA share plan suspension
Gianni Infantino, President of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), reaffirmed his commitment to providing additional resources to support African football. This came after his plan to sell a stake in FIFA's tournaments failed last July in response to European and American opposition, which led some countries to withdraw their support in the upcoming FIFA elections. The statement was made during a conference in Cape Verde attended by the presidents of 54 African football associations. Infantino noted that FIFA has invested one billion dollars in Africa over the past decade through 124 projects and emphasized the ongoing support and opportunities to improve and develop football across the continent.
