Infantino has ‘no way out’ as regional bodies consider no-confidence vote
World football’s regional powerhouses are discussing whether to move a vote of no confidence as they seek to oust FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to senior figures familiar with the discussions.
A senior figure close to the matter told Reuters that while a no-confidence vote was favoured by the three confederations, there were fears an unsuccessful challenge would strengthen Infantino, demonstrate his continuing electoral support and bolster his position ahead of next year’s scheduled presidential election.
UEFA has not commented directly on whether a no-confidence vote was under discussion, but has instead referred to its earlier statement that a review of FIFA’s leadership and governance should be “thorough and fundamental” and that “no option should be off the table”.
