Norway FA president Klaveness calls on FIFA boss Infantino to resign
Norwegian Football Federation President Lise Klaveness urged FIFA leader Gianni Infantino to resign on Friday. Klaveness expressed a lack of confidence in Infantino to lead FIFA during these challenging times, stating that he lacks the necessary institutional trust. Tensions between FIFA and other football governing bodies have escalated, primarily due to FIFA's canceled plan to sell a portion of the World Cup's commercial rights.
Klaveness called for other UEFA nations to support her demand for Infantino's resignation, but they have yet to make a decision. Klaveness, a lawyer, highlighted several grievances against FIFA, including tournament awards, the FIFA peace prize awarded to Trump, and the reversal of a ban for American player Folarin Balogun. She criticized Infantino's leadership and called for urgent governance reforms within FIFA.
