What Did FIFA Say About The Morocco World Cup Final Report?<\/h2>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, British newspaper The Times reported that Infantino is offering Morocco the rights<\/u> to host the 2030 World Cup final in exchange for supporting his reelection as FIFA president. In a statement shared with the Associated Press<\/u>, the soccer body dismissed this, saying it\u2019s \u201cfalse and misleading to claim the FIFA president has made any promise in relation to hosting the FIFA World Cup 2030 final.\u201d The official statement also pushed back against continued criticism of FIFA and Infantino, appearing to threaten legal action. \u201cWith the [FFE] project withdrawn, it was agreed that FIFA will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process and will take all necessary measures to protect and safeguard its name and reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing unnamed sources, The Times reported<\/u> that people close to Infantino would love to see a famous former player come forward to publicly support the embattled soccer body president but \u201cit appears he is too toxic after the World Cup sell-off plan.\u201d Earlier on Wednesday, Portugal and Real Madrid legend Luis Figo issued a statement<\/u> saying: \u201cToday I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President\u2026He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve\u2026It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n

What To Watch For?<\/h2>\n

Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which previously said it has lost confidence in Infantino, has not yet responded to his plans to remain in power as president. It\u2019s unclear if they can get other regional bodies like Asia\u2019s AFC and North and Central America\u2019s CONCACAF to come on board with its plan to oust the FIFA president. <\/p>\n

chief critic<\/h2>\n

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the European Leagues\u2014which represent all major soccer leagues in the continent including the English Premier League, La Liga and others\u2014said while it was happy with FIFA\u2019s decision to ditch the FFE plan the opaque process behind the matter, \u201craises serious questions about FIFA\u2019s governance, internal culture and decision-making.\u201d The body criticized FIFA\u2019s decision to send out a consulation paper over a 64 team World Cup proposal for the 2030 event while the FFE controversy was raging. \u201cthis new proposal involves an impractically short assessment timeline (just four weeks) and zero consultation with the leagues, clubs and players whose planning and livelihoods would be most affected.\u201d The statement added: \u201cFIFA must not be allowed to continue taking unilaterally disruptive decisions that fly in the face of the leagues, clubs, players and fans whose sustained efforts and investment drive the value of international football competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
