Mexico and Argentina have publicly backed FIFA president Gianni Infantino as he faces pressure over a rejected plan to attract private investment. Infantino, a Swiss national, came under fire after three continents turned down his proposal to seek private investment in a company that would run FIFA's competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups. Mexico's support is notable because it breaks ranks with its regional governing body, Concacaf, which has not publicly taken the same stance. Both countries expressed their support, though the timing of their statements has not been disclosed. The proposal would have allowed private investors to oversee some of football's biggest tournaments, with the World Cups at the center of the plan. The rejection by three continents left Infantino in a difficult position, but the backing from Mexico and Argentina offers him some support amid the controversy. The reasons for Mexico's decision to diverge from Concacaf were not stated. No further details about the investment plan or the responses from other FIFA members have been reported. Infantino's leadership has faced scrutiny, and this latest episode adds to the challenges he already faces.
