AFC, Concacaf and UEFA Reportedly Call on Infantino to Step Down

AFC, Concacaf and UEFA Reportedly Call on Infantino to Step Down — 1 of 4
1 / 4

AFC, Concacaf and UEFA are reportedly demanding that FIFA president Gianni Infantino step aside ahead of the March 2027 election. In an open letter, the three confederations accuse FIFA’s leadership of poor governance, inadequate consultation and an attempt to limit scrutiny over a proposal involving an interest in the FIFA World Cup. They call for an independent review of the matter and warn that discussions have begun around organising separate competitions and boycotting FIFA events. The letter says football leadership must be accountable to players, fans, clubs and member associations.

Calls for Infantino to step aside are significant, but the report alone does not settle every allegation against FIFA leadership.

FIFA should address the governance and scrutiny concerns clearly, publish its response, and explain how consultation will improve ahead of the election.
