CONCACAF chief Montagliani considering FIFA presidency challenge to Infantino, report says

Victor Montagliani, the head of CONCACAF, is reportedly considering running against Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency in the March 2024 election, according to a report by The i Paper. This potential challenge follows criticism of Infantino's leadership, particularly over FIFA's proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup, which faced opposition from major regional confederations. Infantino announced his intention to seek a fourth term as FIFA president, with the election set for March 18, 2024, in Morocco. The proposal sparked concerns about transparency and governance processes, leading CONCACAF to reject the plan but avoid supporting a full boycott. The Mexican Football Federation is reviewing the proposal before making a decision.
