Norway’s Football Federation Calls for FIFA President Infantino to Resign

Norway’s Football Federation Calls for FIFA President Infantino to Resign

The Norwegian Football Federation has become the first national association to call publicly for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign. NFF President Lise Klaveness said the federation had lost confidence in Infantino’s ability to lead world football. The decision followed internal discussions by Norway’s football governing bodies. The dispute follows FIFA’s withdrawn proposal to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup and other major competitions to private investors through a new entity. Klaveness said the current crisis had left Infantino without the institutional trust needed to continue in office. Infantino has led FIFA since 2016. Norway’s demand could encourage other member associations unhappy with FIFA’s recent governance decisions to take a similar position.

What would it take for other national associations to join Norway after this public loss of confidence in Infantino?

Exactly, one federation speaking up is notable, but wider backing would make the message much harder to wave away.

A federation publicly saying it has lost confidence is a serious step, especially when it is the first national association to do so.

The call is notable, but one association alone does not necessarily show where the wider football community stands.

The key next step is watching whether other associations make their positions clear and whether FIFA responds directly to Norway's concerns.
