Global Fan Groups Demand Resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino

Fan groups from various countries are urging FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign after his controversial suggestion to sell future World Cup profits to private investors. This petition was initiated recently and is supported by organizations such as Football Supporters Europe and Football Supporters Africa, along with around 40 national fan organizations.

The petition criticizes Infantino's actions as a betrayal of football, particularly highlighting his abandoned proposal for a commercial spin-off of the World Cup. The groups assert that Infantino has lost the trust of football supporters, with UEFA and other confederations expressing a lack of confidence in his leadership.

In addition to the recent controversy, the petition references Infantino's previous contentious decisions, including his support for the European Super League and the idea of hosting the World Cup every two years. These actions have further eroded trust in FIFA and intensified calls for a leadership change.
