The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) announces it has lost confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, becoming the latest national federation to call for changes at football’s global governing body. In a statement, the KNVB says it “no longer has confidence” in Infantino and backs a discussion about FIFA’s future leadership.
The KNVB also says it is willing to host an international summit to discuss next steps for FIFA. While the immediate reports focus on the Netherlands’ position and proposed venue, other outlets in the coverage note that the move fits a broader pattern of growing federation-level scrutiny of FIFA leadership. The federations’ calls generally center on the need for new leadership and governance changes, though the specific demands and timelines vary by country.
Across coverage, the central points are consistent: the KNVB withdraws support, it publicly questions Infantino’s leadership, and it offers to help convene stakeholders to debate FIFA’s future. No single outlet in the provided accounts offers detailed evidence specific to the KNVB’s decision beyond the statement itself.
