What happened: FIFA warning about an alleged effort to undermine Gianni Infantino
FIFA warned of what it described as a concerted and ongoing effort to undermine FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
FIFA said any challenge to Gianni Infantino’s leadership must follow FIFA statutes (FIFA’s formal rules) and democratic procedures.
FIFA did not name the persons or bodies it alleged were seeking to undermine Gianni Infantino and did not specify detailed allegations.
FIFA criticised recent reporting, saying it contained unsubstantiated claims and demonstrably false statements.
FIFA added that FIFA member associations that lack FIFA support should not use allegation, insinuation, or misinformation to achieve outcomes that cannot be achieved through democratic processes.
