"Infantino's time is over." La Liga president launches scathing attack on FIFA chief

The 2026 FIFA World Cup featured 48 teams—the largest number of teams ever—but the next edition could see even more, with 64 teams. However, the proposal is already facing opposition from football officials.

Details: La Liga president Javier Tebas said the football calendar is already extremely demanding, and expanding the World Cup would only make things worse. He also stated that Infantino's time is over and that he should step down.

Quote: "I believe Infantino's time is over. But he has the support of the system and the federations, so there is nothing more to add. It is a system, and it is a system that is rotten to the core. It should not continue, but the current situation means that he will not leave.

"Over the last few days here in the United States, I have heard many people speaking out against Infantino and disagreeing with what he is doing, but they do nothing," Tebas said.

Reminder: Spain defeated Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Many famous personalities attended the match, but UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin was notably absent.
