Uefa Maintains Stance Against Gianni Infantino Despite Fifa's Support

Uefa has reiterated its lack of confidence in Fifa president Gianni Infantino following a meeting where Fifa acknowledged mistakes but did not hold him accountable.

Gianni Infantino, president of Fifa, issued an apology after a meeting in Morocco on Wednesday, where Fifa acknowledged mistakes related to its governance. Uefa responded by stating that Fifa's backing of Infantino does not change its position, emphasizing that European teams could still consider boycotting competitions, including the World Cup.

The English FA has withdrawn its support for Infantino due to plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. Uefa's statement highlighted that its conditions for confidence in Infantino had not been met, despite the withdrawal of the controversial proposal.

Infantino's leadership is under scrutiny, with Uefa expressing a desire for accountability and answers regarding the decision-making process. As the Fifa Women's U20s World Cup approaches, Uefa's stance will be tested, and it continues to explore options, including a potential vote of no confidence against Infantino.
