UAE and regional football associations offer support to Gianni Infantino's Fifa leadership

The UAE Football Association and several other regional football organizations have expressed support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino following FIFA's decision to abandon plans to sell shares in the World Cup to private investors. They praised the move as serving the interests of the global football community and emphasized the importance of preserving unity within the sport. The UAE Football Association, led by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, endorsed Infantino's leadership and called for careful consideration of proposals to protect the game's integrity. Similarly, Egypt, Qatar, and Morocco's football associations supported the decision and reaffirmed their confidence in Infantino's leadership. However, UEFA, Europe's football governing body, stated it had lost trust in Infantino's leadership despite welcoming FIFA's withdrawal of the sale proposal.
