Infantino on the brink? Who might replace him if he goes? - Adomonline.com

FIFA president Gianni Infantino appears increasingly isolated after scrapping a controversial plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. The proposal drew criticism from multiple sides, including UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, as well as fans who claim he should be protecting the sport. More significantly, European governing body UEFA threatened to boycott FIFA competitions, with similar opposition reinforced by Concacaf and the AFC. The AFC said the dispute goes beyond a single proposal, pointing to “fundamental weaknesses” in FIFA’s consultation and decision-making. Sources say most Concacaf members have lost faith or have fully withdrawn it. Also, Carlos Cordeiro—appointed by Trump as a senior advisor for the 2026 World Cup task force—resigned.
