European Countries Withdraw Support for Infantino

The Football Association has withdrawn its support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino's re-election, with Wales and Serbia joining Finland in turning their backs on the crisis-hit leader.

European countries began withdrawing support for Gianni Infantino as moves intensified to end his crisis-hit tenure as FIFA president. The Football Association was the highest-profile of several UEFA member associations to drop its support for Infantino's proposed re-election next year.

Wales and Serbia have joined Finland in withdrawing their backing after the intense controversy surrounding Infantino's failed plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors. The FA will write to FIFA confirming it no longer endorses Infantino for a fourth term. sweetbonan.org
