Will anyone stop Infantino? FIFA president's confident U20 World Cup cameo says otherwise

Gianni Infantino handed the Women’s U20 World Cup trophy to Spain’s captain, Cristina Libran, in Łódź, Poland—an appearance that underlines his determination to press on with FIFA’s re-election push. The moment comes after a near-breakdown of FIFA’s leadership unity, triggered by a plan Infantino attempted last year to raise $20 billion by selling future World Cup stakes, including a deal involving Thrive Capital. UEFA vowed to boycott FIFA tournaments, citing alleged “criminal mismanagement,” but later backed down after FIFA assurances. After an 8-hour, 40-minute flight from Antigua on a Qatar Executive Gulfstream jet, the tournament proceeded, with the 24-team event going ahead despite earlier threats.
