FIFA President Infantino Receives Support Amid Governance Challenges and Project WithdrawalPreviousNext

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received public support from major football bodies including the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) amid ongoing governance challenges. Both associations praised his decade-long leadership focused on football development and transparent governance. The endorsements followed FIFA's withdrawal of the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise project, which faced criticism from UEFA and others. Infantino apologized for the project's errors and pledged a review. He also attended the Women's Africa Cup of Nations match in Morocco amid internal FIFA tensions.
