KRSeveral national soccer federations, including Serbia, Sweden, and Wales, have withdrawn their support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino's re-election bid due to concerns over governance, transparency, and leadership. The decision follows FIFA's failed attempt to sell a 20% stake in the World Cup to private investors, which faced strong opposition. The Serbian Football Association stated that Infantino's actions have damaged FIFA's reputation, while Sweden cited recurring issues in governance and trust. Wales emphasized failures in leadership and stakeholder management. England's FA is also expected to follow suit. Infantino has reached out to former U.S. President Donald Trump for support, though efforts have been unsuccessful. Regional football organizations UEFA and CONCACAF have also expressed loss of confidence in Infantino's leadership.
