Football fan groups worldwide launch an online petition calling for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign, with many linking their demand to what they describe as “betrayal” and poor governance around the World Cup. The campaign circulates under hashtags including #InfantinoOut and urges changes to how FIFA is run.
The outlets report that the petition gains support from groups across multiple countries, with some citing Infantino’s effort to bring in private investment linked to future World Cup profits as a key reason for their anger. Several sources also point to concerns about transparency and his leadership style, while others reference his position on issues such as the European Super League and proposals to change the cadence of the World Cups. The Guardian, in particular, frames the pressure as mounting after Infantino is said to have abandoned plans to seek private investment to run FIFA tournaments, including the men’s and women’s World Cups.
While the core call is consistent—Infantino’s resignation and wider FIFA reform—sources vary slightly in emphasis, from the specific investment plan and “debacle” language to broader disputes over reform and tournament structure. Some coverage describes the petition as also seeking FIFA to be rebuilt so that similar outcomes do not recur.
