Argentina and CAF Support FIFA President Infantino Amid Governance ControversyPreviousNext

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have publicly supported FIFA President Gianni Infantino amid criticism over the withdrawn FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal. Both bodies praised Infantino's decade-long leadership, highlighting football development and governance transparency. The controversial plan to sell stakes in FIFA's commercial rights faced backlash from UEFA and others, leading to its withdrawal and an apology from Infantino and FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom. Infantino also attended a Women's Africa Cup of Nations match amid ongoing governance tensions.
