Infantino Says He Has Overwhelming Support Despite Calls to Resign

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

His assertion comes amid controversy over a proposed sale of commercial rights to FIFA tournaments, which has prompted demands for his resignation.

Infantino’s response focused on the breadth of his backing within football, rejecting the impression that the dispute had left him without support.

The proposed rights sale remains at the centre of the controversy, with his leadership under scrutiny as he maintains that most of the football world stands behind him.
