Infantino Faces No-Confidence Vote from UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF Over World Cup Rights Proposal
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing opposition from three major regional football bodies - UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF - who are discussing a no-confidence vote against him.
The move comes after Infantino proposed selling a minority stake in a private FIFA commercial entity that would control World Cup rights. However, the regional bodies have expressed concerns over this proposal and are now considering removing Infantino from office.
FIFA's leadership has stated that it will not support any election process inconsistent with its statutes and governance framework. The European Football Clubs group has also warned that members could refuse to participate in future Club World Cups unless FIFA addresses governance concerns.
