Mexico and Argentina’s football associations express support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino as FIFA faces backlash over a previously proposed change to the commercial rights for the World Cup. According to reports, the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), which co-hosted the recently concluded World Cup, publicly backs Infantino, while Argentina’s football body also throws its support behind him. The dispute centres on a proposal that would have involved selling off some commercial rights related to the World Cup. Multiple outlets note that the proposal has since been abandoned, but criticism of the process and the idea has continued. The Federation statements add to an ongoing fight within FIFA, where Infantino’s leadership is being challenged by opponents who have raised concerns about transparency and the implications for the tournament’s commercial structure. Support from national associations such as Mexico and Argentina is presented as a counterpoint to the wider criticism, highlighting divisions within the sport’s governance landscape as FIFA navigates the fallout from its earlier commercial-rights proposal.
