French FA withdraws support for FIFA president Infantino; Morocco claims 2030 final hosting
Irish IndependentLO·FR · MA·about 13 hours ago
France's football federation has withdrawn its support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, joining a growing list of national federations opposing his leadership. The move signals eroding backing for Infantino ahead of the 2027 FIFA election, though the specific reasons and the full extent of the opposition remain unclear. This shift in institutional support could affect the balance of power in global football governance.
