English and Welsh FAs Withdraw Support for FIFA President Infantino Amid Growing Pressure
World Sports · 12:54:48 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

The English and Welsh football associations have formally withdrawn their support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino as pressure continues to mount on the incumbent leader. The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of Infantino's governance and a reported "climate of fear" that may deter potential challengers in the upcoming FIFA election.

According to reports, the decision by the two associations reflects growing dissatisfaction among European football bodies. Observers suggest that the withdrawal could signal a broader shift in the football establishment's stance toward Infantino's presidency.
