FIFA split: England set to pull support for Infantino... Wales leads | OneFootball

The English Football Association (FA) is finalizing the details of a formal letter addressed to FIFA to officially withdraw its support for the re-election of Gianni Infantino for the 2027-2031 term.

The firm decision by the highest authority in English football follows the step already taken by the Welsh federation. This position comes in response to the crisis triggered by the controversial and failed attempt to privatize the World Cup’s commercial rights.

From the offices at Wembley, they consider a thorough and rigorous review of the organization’s governance to be essential. Sources close to the matter confirm that the FA has lost confidence in Infantino due to his failures in management and leadership.

This move by the English federation strengthens the strong institutional opposition driven by UEFA and CONCACAF. The British bloc’s aim is to force a major change in leadership before the next elective congress.
