Dutch federation calls for football summit without Infantino

The Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) has expressed a lack of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino and called for a summit on the future of FIFA without his involvement. This comes amid criticism of Infantino's controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which aimed to introduce private investment into FIFA events but was later abandoned due to backlash. The KNVB stated that FIFA needs new leadership starting in 2027 and emphasized the need for structural changes in how FIFA is governed. They proposed reforms focused on good governance, leveraging football’s social impact, and increased global investment in the sport. The KNVB criticized Infantino for lacking transparency and making unilateral decisions, citing concerns raised by other organizations such as the Norwegian FA and UEFA, which has threatened legal action against him for 'criminal mismanagement.'
