ARThe Argentine Football Association (AFA), under the leadership of Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, sent an email letter of support to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This action followed a meeting of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) where member countries discussed Infantino's proposal to create a private equity-backed entity (FIFA Forward Enterprise) to organize World Cups. While Conmebol initially criticized the initiative, they expressed indirect support for Infantino's management. The AFA's letter closely mirrored a similar document from Paraguay, which had a close relationship with Conmebol president Alejandro Domínguez. The AFA emphasized Infantino's decade-long efforts to develop global football and strengthen institutional governance, while acknowledging the decision to withdraw the controversial project due to uncertainty. The AFA highlighted the importance of governance norms in maintaining trust between FIFA and its members.
