Infantino Retains FIFA Presidency After Rabat Crisis Meeting, Apologizes for World Cup Sell-Off Plan
FIFA President Gianni Infantino will remain in his position following a crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco, where he received full support from the governing body’s senior executives. Infantino issued written apologies to member associations for failing to consult them on a proposed World Cup commercial rights sell-off, a plan now withdrawn.
Despite mounting criticism from UEFA and Concacaf regarding FIFA’s governance, the organization emphasized its commitment to improving processes and protecting its reputation, while UEFA continues to seek a challenger for the upcoming presidential election.
