FIFA vice-president withdraws support for Infantino after 'final straw'
The pressure on embattled FIFA president Gianni Infantino mounts as one of his vice-presidents and more international federations back away from him.
FIFA vice-president Sandor Csanyi has withdrawn his support for Gianni Infantino following the abrupt termination of chief operating officer Kevin Lamour. The termination of Lamour, which occurred after he criticized Infantino's proposal to sell the World Cup, is described by Csanyi as the "final straw." Csanyi is the fourth FIFA vice-president to publicly oppose Infantino in recent months.
Other national football federations and FIFA officials have also distanced themselves from the embattled FIFA president, amidst pressure from three confederations to resign.
