The Fifa Family: Which Confederations Could Support Infantino or Turn Against Him?

As the scrutiny on FIFA President Gianni Infantino intensifies, the fallout from his controversial World Cup sell-off plan is becoming ever more apparent. Several national associations have begun to distance themselves from Infantino, raising questions about the stability of his presidency. Each continental confederation—UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, CAF, AFC, and OFC—holds significant sway in the governance of global football, and their relationships with Infantino are crucial. UEFA, traditionally a stronghold of support for FIFA presidents, is now seeing cracks as European football associations express discontent. Meanwhile, CONMEBOL's leadership appears conflicted, balancing historical loyalty with emerging criticism. As we explore the dynamics within each confederation, it becomes clear that Infantino's fate may hinge on whether he can mend relationships or if dissent will coalesce into a formidable challenge during the next elections.
