World Cup co-hosts US and Canada back statement criticising Infantino

By GhanaSummary NewsroomNigeria

The football federations of the United States and Canada — two of the 2026 World Cup host nations — on Monday backed a statement from three confederations criticising FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

US Soccer, Canada Soccer, the CFU (Caribbean Football Union) and UNCAF (Central American Football Union) said they “stand together, along with our colleagues around the world, in calling for meaningful change that strengthens FIFA’s governance, transparency and accountability”.

But the FIFA chief came under renewed fire on Monday as a joint letter from three confederations — Europe’s UEFA, CONCACAF for North and Central America and the Caribbean and Asian body AFC — declared football “belongs to no individual”.
