Gianni Infantino faces renewed calls to step down after UEFA urges a move to depose the FIFA president, alleging problems tied to his “money-making” plans. According to the reporting, UEFA and CONCACAF have asked for Infantino to quit and are pursuing an effort to remove him from the role.
However, the initiative reportedly encounters resistance among other parts of football’s governing structure. Four Asian nations have reiterated confidence in Infantino’s leadership, creating a roadblock for those seeking his removal. The sources describe this support as a counterweight to UEFA’s position.
The coverage frames the situation as a dispute within football administration, involving multiple confederations with different stances toward Infantino. While UEFA and CONCACAF continue to press for his departure, the public backing from Asian countries suggests that any attempt to depose him may require broader consensus than is currently available.
