French Football Federation Withdraws Support for FIFA President Infantino's Re-election Bid
The French Football Federation (FFF) has withdrawn its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino's re-election bid, citing broken trust and concerns over FIFA's governance. The decision, made unanimously by the FFF executive committee, follows Infantino's controversial proposal to sell a 20% stake in FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, which was abandoned after widespread opposition. Several European federations have also withdrawn backing, and UEFA has called for governance reforms and a credible alternative ahead of the March election.
