English FA to Withdraw Support for FIFA President Infantino

1 min read

The English Football Association (FA) is set to write to FIFA president Gianni Infantino withdrawing its support for his re-election bid, joining Wales in opposing his continued leadership of world football's governing body.

The decision reflects growing unease within the English game over Infantino's tenure at FIFA, particularly concerning World Cup hosting decisions and questions about governance standards at the organisation.

The move marks a significant diplomatic shift, as England's FA joins a growing number of European football associations questioning whether Infantino remains the right person to lead FIFA through a period of significant change for the global game.
