Gianni Infantino's grip on world football may be facing its first real challenge in years.
Details: According to journalist Ben Jacobs, there’s growing momentum within UEFA to put forward a candidate to go head-to-head with the current FIFA president in the next election.
No specific contender has been named yet. However, this is no longer a matter of a few disgruntled voices: multiple European federations are now seriously considering supporting an alternative candidate.
Pressure on Infantino has ramped up significantly following the latest FIFA scandals. European politicians, in particular, have called for an investigation into possible interference in the reversal of the suspension of US national team striker Folarin Balogun.
This means the upcoming FIFA presidential election could shift from a mere formality into a full-blown political showdown.
Reminder: Infantino plans World Cup 2030 reform. What changes are on the horizon?
