Infantino’s future should be decided by election says African football chief
Fifa chief Gianni Infantino is fighting to save his job after a barrage of criticism for his aborted plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
CAF president Patrice Motsepe believes that Fifa president Gianni Infantino's future should be determined through elections, rather than being decided by the 211 member associations. Motsepe, a FIFA vice-president, made this statement during a meeting in Salzburg to discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding Infantino. The Irish Football Association (FAI) has recently become the latest federation to withdraw its support for Infantino, joining the English FA and Welsh FA who had already done so.
This latest development has added to the growing pressure on Infantino, who is currently fighting to retain his position despite a series of criticisms and allegations. Motsepe emphasized the importance of following the proper procedures and allowing the member associations to decide Infantino's fate through a vote at the upcoming elections, rather than taking any unilateral actions.
