🚨 A football legend calls for Gianni Infantino to resign | OneFootball

A Ballon d'Or speaks out!

A former supporter of Gianni Infantino during the 2015 FIFA presidential election, Luis Figo published a message on his social media this Wednesday in which he openly criticizes the FIFA president and calls for his resignation!

The Portuguese 2000 Ballon d'Or winner strongly criticizes Infantino following the abandonment of his controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) project, a company intended to open part of FIFA’s commercial activities, including the World Cup, to private investors.

Translated message from Luis Figo: 

"Today, I join others in our football world in calling for Gianni Infantino to resign from his position as FIFA president.

Infantino has disgraced the office he pledged to elevate. He has lied, deceived, and tried to enrich himself at the expense of the sport he is supposed to serve.

He has lost the support of his senior executives, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it seems, the winner of the FIFA Peace Award.

It is too late to save his dignity, but it is not too late to save football. He must go. Right now.

#Infantinout"
