← Back to NewsNorway’s Klaveness Demands Infantino Resignation Amid Trust Crisis
7 August 2026
In a bold move, Lise Klaveness, president of the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF), has called for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign immediately. This unprecedented demand comes on the heels of Infantino's controversial proposal to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup to private investors, which has sparked outrage among football federations worldwide. Klaveness stated, 'There is no trust now,' reflecting the sentiment of many who feel that Infantino's leadership has been marred by ongoing scandals. Norway is the first national federation to openly urge Infantino's resignation, emphasizing a growing discontent within the global football community. Infantino, who continues to seek support internationally, faces mounting pressure as criticism of his FIFA Forward Enterprise scheme deepens. The fallout from this situation could have significant implications for FIFA's governance and the future of football administration.
