FIFA icon Luis Figo has penned a scathing open letter, demanding the immediate resignation of FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The 2000 Portuguese Ballon d'Or winner, a former supporter during Infantino's 2015 presidential campaign, harshly criticizes the Swiss executive's handling of the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) project. This initiative aimed to commercialize aspects of FIFA, including the World Cup, by allowing private investors a stake in the organization's operations.
Following the FFE's collapse, Infantino's leadership has been a subject of widespread discontent within the football community. Figo's message, translated into English by AI, calls for Infantino to resign "right now," stating that the FIFA president has disgraced his office, lied, deceived, and attempted to enrich himself at the sport's expense.
The letter criticizes Infantino for losing the support of senior executives, advisers, and the majority of those dedicated to football, as well as the FIFA Peace Award winner. Figo asserts that while it may be too late to salvage Infantino's reputation, it is not too late to preserve the integrity of the sport.
