New Zealand Football withdraws support for Infantino, urges review
It is believed that NZF wants the Fifa chief to resign before he has a chance to seek re-election in March next year.
New Zealand Football (NZF) has withdrawn its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino and called for an independent investigation into his proposed sale of World Cup assets. The decision comes after three confederations, UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC, signed an open letter accusing Infantino of breaking trust through deception. NZF believes that Infantino's actions have eroded trust and deepened division within international football, and that an impartial review is necessary to restore confidence.
The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), which includes NZF, welcomed the cancellation of the investment plan but did not demand Infantino's resignation. NZF emphasized the importance of good governance, transparency, and adherence to established procedures in maintaining public trust in the global football administration. FIFA has responded defensively to the criticism and the besieged Infantino.
