Hans-Joachim Watzke, vice president of the German Football Federation, publicly called for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to step down, stating he 'needs to go now – no ifs, ands, or buts.'

The statement's impact on FIFA governance and global football politics remains uncertain, but it signals growing discontent within European football's governing bodies.
