FIFA President Gianni Infantino is in a precarious position before the 2027 FIFA Elections, as member nations have started withdrawing support.
Infantino's bold move to privatise the World Cup by selling a 20% stake in the tournament's logistics was widely condemned as a move to sell the sport and weaken its integrity.
After the continental confederations rallied to stop Infantino's FFE plan before he could formally introduce it, specific member states are now targeting new leadership at the helm.
After UEFA's leading role in stopping the FFE plan and open condemnation of Infantino, the Welsh FA has released a statement to Sky News, attacking Infantino and withdrawing support from his 2027 FIFA Presidency re-election plans.
"The recent failures in good governance, processes, leadership, values, stakeholder management, communications, and sound judgement have led us to a position where Mr Infantino has lost the confidence of the FAW to remain at the helm of world football. Failing to put the best interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept."
