English FA to withdraw support for Infantino

The English Football Association is set to withdraw its support for Gianni Infantino's FIFA presidency bid. This decision comes after Infantino's plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors was scrapped.

The Football Association of Wales has already withdrawn its backing for Infantino's re-election campaign, citing concerns over the failed investment plan. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, Wales is not the only one to do so, as UEFA and Concacaf have also publicly questioned Infantino's leadership.

UEFA has threatened legal action over the proposals and has asked Infantino to preserve all documents related to the plan. The English FA will write to Infantino to inform him of their decision to withdraw their support.
