Multiple reports say FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour has called for President Gianni Infantino to be removed, escalating internal tensions at the governing body. According to the outlets, Lamour makes the comments publicly in connection with controversial FIFA proposals related to the future sale or commercial restructuring of World Cup events. The statements add to existing criticism of the plans and frame the dispute as an internal governance challenge rather than only an external backlash. Both reports describe Lamour’s stance as forceful, with an indication that he is prepared to face personal consequences if his position leads to changes in his own role. The reports do not agree on details beyond the existence of the sell-off-related controversy and Lamour’s call for Infantino’s removal, but they consistently portray a widening rift within FIFA leadership. The situation is presented as ongoing, with pressure mounting for decision-making inside FIFA to change following the proposals.
