German FA VP Watzke demands FIFA chief Infantino's immediate removal

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.' This marks a rare high-level public rebuke from a major European football federation, escalating institutional pressure on Infantino's leadership. The statement's impact on FIFA governance and global football politics remains uncertain, but it signals growing discontent within European football's governing bodies.
