This decision was made following a crisis meeting of FIFA’s leadership in Rabat, where the fallout from the already withdrawn FIFA Forward Enterprise project was discussed.

Organization representatives admitted to errors made during the preparation and review of the initiative. FIFA also sent a letter of apology to Council members and national associations, promising to conduct an internal review and present the results at the next meeting.

Infantino himself responded by expressing his full support for Mattias Grafström and the FIFA administration, thanking them for their work on implementing his vision for the organization’s development.

It’s worth noting that Gianni Infantino has been at the helm of FIFA since February 2016 and intends to run for another presidential term in 2027.
