The Mexican Football Federation issued a statement this afternoon backing the call for institutional order made by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

"The FMF will neither recognize nor approve any process called outside that institutional framework, and it adheres to the call issued on August 5, 2026, by President Infantino to collectively continue developing football for the benefit of the 211 member associations.

The FMF supports President Infantino’s leadership in continuing to promote the development of football through institutional strengthening," they said.

This call comes 24 hours after FIFA admitted its mistakes during the process of “creating” FIFA Forward Enterprise, and on the same day that UEFA reiterated its distrust of Gianni Infantino’s leadership.
