The meeting comes amid criticism from European and North American opponents who aim to oust him. The four agenda items include Infantino's withdrawn proposal to sell a stake in tournament rights to private investors, FIFA disciplinary procedures, governance standards, and the peace prize awarded to U.S. President Donald Trump. The council is expected to discuss Infantino's leadership style and potential reforms.",
