Infantino Says He Has Overwhelming Support Despite Calls to Resign

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has asserted that he enjoys the support of the overwhelming majority of the football world, despite calls for him to step down.

The resignation demands come amid controversy over a proposal to sell commercial rights to FIFA tournaments.

Infantino’s assertion of broad backing offers a counterpoint to the criticism surrounding the project. He maintained that support for his leadership remains strong despite the dispute.

The controversy has placed both the proposed rights sale and Infantino’s position at the centre of debate over FIFA’s commercial plans.
