Gianni Infantino's tenure as Fifa president faces growing pressure, with Wales and England becoming the latest nations to withdraw their backing. This follows his decision to abandon a controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
Uefa, along with other footballing bodies, had previously expressed a loss of confidence in Infantino. Its 55 member associations had threatened to boycott any Fifa tournament, including the next World Cup, if the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) plans were not withdrawn, which ultimately led to Infantino's climbdown.
Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) also raised concerns, with the AFC calling for an "urgent review of its governance" at Fifa. With the next Fifa presidential election less than a year away in March 2027, several potential challengers are being discussed.
Among the names mentioned are Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Legia Warsaw owner Dariusz Mioduski, Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, AFC president Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, and Fifa's Chief of Global Football Development, Arsene Wenger.
