FIFA President Infantino Receives Support Amidst Opposition
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received backing from six Arab federations, including Qatar and Morocco, amidst reported opposition and a revolt over his plans. The support comes as some entities, like UEFA, are reportedly seeking to oust Infantino and reform FIFA. Malawi's FA chief also backed Infantino, crediting FIFA for their World Cup debut. However, one report noted that CAF support does not guarantee African votes in FIFA elections. A FIFA vice president issued a warning to those attempting to remove Infantino.
