Gianni Infantino's position as FIFA president is in severe peril after plans to sell parts of the World Cup to private investment collapsed. European football's governing body, UEFA, has lost confidence in him, and many Concacaf countries are considering formally withdrawing their support, following Europe's lead. There are widespread calls for Infantino to step down.
The collapse of the World Cup sell-off plan has intensified pressure on Infantino ahead of FIFA's pending elections. UEFA's loss of confidence is a significant blow, and the potential withdrawal of support from Concacaf nations would further weaken his standing. No further details about the collapsed plan were released, but the turmoil comes at a critical time for the embattled president.
