Dutch federation calls for football summit without Infantino
The KNVB said it had lost confidence in Gianni Infantino and that things had to change radically within Fifa.
The Dutch football federation (KNVB) has called for a summit on the future of football's world governing body, Fifa, without current president Gianni Infantino. Infantino has faced significant criticism over his now-abandoned Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which aimed to introduce private investment into Fifa events. The KNVB, in a letter to European football's governing body Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin, expressed their loss of confidence in Infantino and the need for radical changes within Fifa.
Uefa has been vocal in its opposition to Infantino, even threatening legal action against him for "criminal mismanagement." The KNVB emphasized that any changes to Fifa should not be solely European in nature and called for greater transparency, independent oversight, and room for critical voices within the organization. The KNVB proposed an international summit to discuss the future of Fifa, which it is willing to host in Amsterdam, a city with historical significance in Fifa's history.
