UEFA Chief Ceferin Declines to Replace FIFA President Amid Leadership Pressure
UEFA chief Aleksander Ceferin has stated he is not interested in replacing FIFA president Gianni Infantino, despite growing pressure on Infantino to resign over his abandoned plan to secure private investment in FIFA tournaments. Ceferin cited his commitment to UEFA and personal credibility as reasons for not seeking the FIFA role. He warned that Infantino must either quit or face a leadership challenge at the next FIFA Congress in Morocco in March 2027, amid threats of boycotts and withdrawal of support from several football federations.
