Infantino remains Fifa president after executive meeting

Gianni Infantino has been reappointed as Fifa president following an executive meeting in Morocco, despite mounting criticism of his efforts to sell off commercial and event operations. The European football governing body, Uefa, expressed its loss of confidence in Infantino, describing the proposed Fifa Forward Enterprise deal as "shabby, back room, opaque."

Secretary General Mattias Grofstrom also criticized the situation in an internal memo, stating that it was a "sad and reproachable series of events." However, at the meeting, Grofstrom and the management board reaffirmed their full support for Infantino as president.
