Infantino’s letter a re-election ploy, says German FA chief
Gianni Infantino in his letter proposed an independent review of Fifa’s decision-making, but German football chief Bernd Neuendorf said he is unfit to lead the reforms.
Fifa President Gianni Infantino has sent a letter to all 211 member associations offering to discuss reforms within the governing body, amid ongoing controversy over his failed plan to sell a stake in the World Cup. Germany's Football Association (DFB) President Bernd Neuendorf claims the letter is merely a ploy to secure his re-election in March, stating that Infantino has lost all credibility and is not the right person to lead a reform process.
Infantino proposes an independent review of the decision-making process, consultations with confederations and member associations, and strengthening of Fifa's decision-making. However, Neuendorf believes changes are necessary and that Infantino should not lead such a process.
