Welsh FA Withdraws Support for Infantino

The Welsh Football Association announced on August 3 that it would no longer support Gianni Infantino in his bid for re-election as FIFA President. The move comes shortly after FIFA withdrew its controversial proposal to open the organization to external investors.

The Welsh Federation cited failures in good governance, processes, and leadership as reasons for withdrawing their support, stating that Infantino has lost their confidence to lead world football. "Not putting football's interest before all else is a failure we cannot accept," the association stated. Infantino remains the only declared candidate for re-election in March 2027. newssport.cv
