The Dutch football association (KNVB), one of FIFA's founding members, has called for the replacement of FIFA President Gianni Infantino by 2027 and a broader overhaul of the organization's governance structure. KNVB expressed a loss of confidence in Infantino's leadership and emphasized the need for structural reforms, including a shift in power dynamics within FIFA. They propose hosting an international summit in Amsterdam to involve football associations and confederations worldwide in shaping FIFA's future. Key demands include decentralizing decision-making, improving governance with checks and balances, prioritizing human rights and sustainability, and reinvesting more of FIFA's revenue into football development. KNVB also criticized FIFA's focus on closing the wealth gap between member nations, arguing it should be a global effort. FIFA has not responded to the allegations.
