Gianni Infantino is facing a battle to stay afloat as Fifa president after his botched bid to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors resulted in a significant loss in support.
The Republic of Ireland and New Zealand have become the latest to officially pull their support for Infantino, joining England, Wales and other European nations have led the charge in withdrawing their endorsement of the Swiss-Italian for re-election in March 2027, while Uefa ******* erted that its boycott of Fifa competitions still stands in a bid to oust him from power.
The global players union, Fifpro, have also turned on Infantino, accusing him of a "profound abuse of presidential power" in an explosive statement.
However, Infantino's allies are beginning to surface, with the likes of Mexico and Argentina joining Caf, the African football governing body, in reaffirming support for the under-fire president.
As dominoes continue to fall, here is every country and confederation to have expressed their opposition or support for Infantino:
