FIFA Defends President Infantino Amid Criticism and Resignation Calls
FIFA has issued a statement defending its president, Gianni Infantino, against allegations of an affair and preferential treatment at UEFA, which a British newspaper reported. The organization stated these claims are part of a "concerted and ongoing effort" to undermine Infantino and FIFA. This defense comes amid criticism and calls for Infantino's resignation from figures like the Norway FA chief and the La Liga chief. FIFA rejected attempts to undermine its president, while Infantino himself denied the allegations.
