Italy Withdraws Support for FIFA President Infantino's Reelection

The Italian soccer federation has recently announced its decision to withdraw support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino's reelection, making it the latest nation to do so.

This decision was communicated in a statement on Wednesday, citing concerns over Infantino's recent initiatives related to governance and international competition development.

Infantino has faced mounting pressure to resign, particularly following his controversial proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private equity investors. Several continental confederations have accused him of deception, and UEFA has threatened to boycott FIFA events. The FIGC president emphasized a commitment to a soccer model focused on merit and solidarity, aligning with other European federations that have also retracted their support.
