- Infantino is facing calls to resign from major confederations including Uefa, AFC, and Concacaf, with regional ruling bodies holding discussions over a potential vote of no confidence.
- Concerns were highlighted over political interventions, including awarding a peace prize to US president Donald Trump and overturning a World Cup ban for American player Folarin Balogun.
