The revolt at FIFA has not eased.

Concacaf’s condemnation of Infantino, issued the day after he abandoned his plan to sell a stake in the World Cup, has continued to reverberate through the governance battle, joining UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation in opposition to the plan.

“This recent unilateral and egregious act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of missteps and similar behaviour,” Concacaf said in a statement issued on Saturday.

Its verdict on the presidency was unusually blunt:

“A comprehensive reckoning with this presidency is imperative.” And on what should follow: “A duty of service over power. Where that duty is not upheld, accountability cannot be optional.”

What Concacaf is asking for

Concacaf did not publicly call for Infantino’s resignation. Its statement pressed instead for structural accountability: the proposal, the confederation said, had advanced “outside every established governance framework, without transparency, consultation or due process”.

FIFA already sits on “vast reserves”, it added, and those funds should be spent on the game.

Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is a FIFA vice president and one of the names most frequently discussed as a potential challenger in the presidential election, scheduled for 19 March 2027 in Rabat, Morocco. Candidate registration closes on 18 November.

UEFA has gone further

Where Concacaf demanded a reckoning, UEFA questioned whether Infantino should still hold the job.

Its executive said “no option should be off the table” and that the FIFA leadership had “not only lost UEFA’s confidence but also that of many other members of the football family”, according to the statement issued alongside its condemnation of the plan.

“We cannot keep going on like this with secret schemes on fast-track timescales, cooked up by faceless individuals and of dubious benefit to the game,” UEFA added.

The Asian Football Confederation described the investment scheme as “totally unacceptable” and demanded an urgent review of FIFA’s governance.

The plan that unravelled in a week

Infantino’s proposal was built around FIFA Forward Enterprise, a commercial subsidiary that would have absorbed the running of the World Cup and the Club World Cup.

FIFA sought to sell roughly a 20 percent stake to private investors, valuing the entity at $20 billion and raising up to $4.2 billion. The anchor investor was a New York firm launched by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner.

The plan collapsed late on Friday after Infantino’s senior adviser, Carlos Cordeiro, resigned in protest and called it “a bad deal for football”.

FIFA’s chief operating officer Kevin Lamour said staff had been “deceived” and that the time had come for football’s political leaders to “ask themselves the right questions and make the right decisions”.

Announcing the withdrawal, Infantino said the project had “created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place”.

“A proposal of this magnitude does not reach that stage by accident,” Concacaf said. “It is a symptom of leadership that has stopped putting football first.”
