FIFA president Gianni Infantino receives full support from six Arab football federations, including Qatar and Morocco, as he faces an internal revolt over his leadership. The federations publicly express “full support” and “confidence” in his presidency, according to reports.
The backing comes as Infantino confronts calls for his resignation following a failed effort to secure private investment for FIFA competitions. Multiple outlets link the controversy to opposition from major regional bodies, which have urged him to step down after his bid to introduce private investment reportedly did not proceed.
While outlets agree on the core point—that several Arab federations are rallying behind Infantino—their emphasis differs. Some reports frame the situation as additional political support after proposed investment plans are nixed, while others describe it as part of an ongoing leadership struggle tied to FIFA’s governance and finances ahead of Infantino’s next term.
