Did the statements made in recent days in support of #Infantino seem very similar to one another? As @skynewsrss.bsky.social explains, that is because FIFA sent them to various associations already filled out.

According to Martyn Ziegler of The Times, #Infantino reportedly promised Morocco the 2030 World Cup final in exchange for support for his re-election. FIFA denies this, but Ziegler says his source confirms it. 👇 www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

Gianni Infantino offers Morocco 2030 World Cup final in return for support

Fifa president is trying to persuade countries to issue statements of endorsement as pressure builds on him to resign

" #Infantino must go. What I have seen exposed in the last 10 days is the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed." Luis Figo (who has been an advisor to Čeferin since 2017) speaking just moments ago to the @dailymail.co.uk. 👇

Blatter has issued a major endorsement of Lise Klaveness as the next FIFA president: "She was the only one who always took a clear stand and did not go along with the mainstream. the time is right for a woman to take the lead at FIFA." 👇

🇯🇴 The president of the Jordan Football Association (JFA), Ali Al-Hussein, openly accuses Gianni #Infantino of blackmailing him to secure the country's support in the upcoming FIFA presidential election. 👇

On Monday, four European federations - Wales, England, Serbia, and Sweden - officially withdrew their support for #Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president in 2027. Yet, he still enjoys broad support, particularly in Africa and Asia. 👇

"In memory of all those murdered by Fascism" The banner was displayed by the Riazor Blues (Deportivo La Coruña ultras) on Saturday at an event commemorating the anti-fascist footballer Bebel García, who was executed in 1936. #antifascism 👇

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The situation is becoming increasingly complicated for #Infantino: Wales has withdrawn its support for the FIFA president ahead of the 2027 elections. Other federations are expected to follow suit soon. 👇

Amidst a scandal engulfing him, #Infantino today published an Instagram post celebrating FIFA as "the official happiness provider to humanity."

"A real football gangster. The whole world is turning its back on you. F*** you, Infantino!" 🇨🇭 During yesterday's Swiss league match against Basel, Lausanne-Sport fans directed a message against FIFA president (and Swiss citizen) Gianni #Infantino. 👇

Infantino’s plan to privatize the World Cup has failed, but this must become an opportunity to seriously reform the governance of FIFA and international football - and to do so democratically. Read the new article on FOOTBALL POLITCS: footballpolitics.substack.com/p/how-to-ref...

How To Reform International Football

Infantino's plan to privatize the World Cup has failed, but this must become an opportunity to seriously reform the governance of international football - and to do so in a democratic direction.

At the moment, only two federations have expressed their support for #Infantino following the failure of the FFE project: Qatar and Morocco. That is, the host country of the 2022 World Cup and the lead host country of the 2030 World Cup.

Gianni #Infantino appears to be at the end of the road as FIFA president: what will happen in the coming days? Pallonate in Faccia on InsideOver (in Italian). it.insideover.com/politica/lim...

L'impero di Infantino è al collasso: quale sarà il futuro della FIFA? - InsideOver

La FIFA ha ritirato il suo controverso piano per privatizzare il Mondiale, ma adesso aumentano le pressioni sul presidente Infantino perché rassegni le dimissioni.

UEFA declares it no longer has confidence in Infantino and calls upon other FIFA members to rally: this is the first step towards the end of the current presidency.

#Infantino ’s plan to privatize the World Cup is dead, and now the FIFA presidency itself hangs in the balance. Read Pallonate in Faccia’s exclusive report on this tumultuous week in Domani (in Italian). 📲 www.editorialedomani.it/sport/infant...

Il castello di carte di Infantino è crollato: ritirato il piano per “vendere” i Mondiali

In appena tre giorni si è dissolto il progetto con cui il presidente della Fifa voleva aprire la Coppa del Mondo ai capitali privati. Decisive la rivolta delle federazioni, le tensioni interne all'org...

Infantino’s FIFA Forward Enterprise plan has officially failed: it lasted three days, less than the Super League. Via @robharrisreports.bsky.social

"The 2030 World Cup in Morocco will be the best of all time because it will be here in Morocco." 🇲🇦 That's what #Infantino said yesterday in Morocco while celebrating the anniversary of King Mohammed VI's coronation. He forgot to mention that the World Cup will also be held in Portugal and Spain. 👇

FIFA COO Kevin Lamour has come out against Infantino’s project, revealing to the @apnews.com that he had not been informed about it. I had previously reported this in an article published in Domani yesterday, after learning of it from third-party sources. 👇

🇷🇴 Genoa has denied that its president and owner, Dan Șucu, was an informant for the Securitate, the Romanian secret police during the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime: the accusation had been circulating in the Romanian media in recent hours.

Carlos Cordeiro, Infantino's Senior Advisor, has just resigned: "I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup."

The AFC (Asia) has just issued a new statement opposing Infantino's plan, aligning itself with UEFA and CONCACAF. The FIFA Forward Entertainment (FFE) project has essentially failed. 👇

FIFA is attempting damage control with a statement accusing the media of publishing "erroneous reporting" that "disrupted" the "consultation process." However, all national FAs have confirmed that they were kept in the dark about the Infantino plan. 👇

CONCACAF rejects Infantino's plan (though it is not joining UEFA's boycott). Currently, opponents of the WC privatization project hold 96 out of 211 votes; a majority requires 106, and the AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONMEBOL (South America), and OFC (Oceania) have yet to state their positions.

UEFA member associations have unanimously opposing Infantino's plan to privatize the World Cup. Even the Czech Republic, which had expressed support yesterday, has changed its stance.

UEFA member associations have unanimously opposing Infantino's plan to privatize the World Cup. Even the Czech Republic, which had expressed support yesterday, has changed its stance.

The African confederation CAF - led by Patrice Motsepe, a well-known ally of Infantino - says it will "evaluate" the plan to privatize the World Cup (though it seems quite likely to approve it). 👇

Infantino has his first public ally: the Czech Republic supports the plan to privatize the World Cup, siding against UEFA. 👇

🇮🇹 An Italian top-tier club, owned by a national politician, signed a rich sponsorship deal with a highly controversial company that has been prohibited from operating in Italy. This is the case between Lazio and Polymarket. Read about it here: footballpolitics.substack.com/p/lazio-poly... 👇
