German Football Association (DFB) vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke says FIFA president Gianni Infantino “must go,” adding that he is calling for Infantino’s resignation. Multiple outlets report Watzke’s remarks and his view that several FIFA-related decisions and actions are disqualifying factors.
The coverage is consistent on who is making the claim and the basic thrust of the message: Watzke is publicly criticizing Infantino and urging him to leave the FIFA presidency. However, the specific reasons are not described in detail in the excerpts provided, with some reporting referencing “three points” Watzke considers particularly important.
Across the articles, the tone is aligned in that all present the statement as a direct call for Infantino’s departure, rather than a request for internal reforms or a limited dispute resolution. The outlets focus on Watzke’s position within German football and treat his comments as part of a broader chorus of figures calling for change at FIFA.
