Infantino attendance uncertain as Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup opens in Poland
Gianni Infantino has remained highly visible, even after his proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors drew fierce criticism from stakeholders.
KATOWICE: The opening matches of the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland have not yet confirmed whether Fifa President Gianni Infantino will attend. Around 15,000 spectators are expected for the matches, which run until September 27. This is the first major Fifa event potentially impacted by the governance dispute that followed Infantino's plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors, which he abandoned in July due to opposition.
The tournament features teams from all six regional confederations and requires each team's head coach to be a woman. The 56-year-old Swiss administrator faces calls to resign from Uefa, AFC, and Concacaf, though he intends to seek a fourth term at the Fifa Congress in March 2027.
