of a company with family links to United States President Donald Trump, were just the most egregious flaws in the plan for its many critics.<\/p>\n<p>Infantino\u2019s backdown last Friday has done little to assuage those critics, most notably the European confederation UEFA, which accused him of selling the soul of the game and said it no longer has confidence in his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>That has cast \u2060a shadow over Infantino\u2019s re-election for a fourth term at the FIFA Congress in Morocco in March, which looked a foregone conclusion two months ago.<\/p>\n<p>UEFA <a href=\"\/sports\/2026\/8\/4\/uefas-threatened-legal-action-against-infantino-and-fifa-what-we-know\">confirmed to Al Jazeera<\/a> on Tuesday that it has issued FIFA with a \u201cdocument preservation letter\u201d, but made no further comment.<\/p>\n<p>A handful of European federations have withdrawn their backing for the Swiss Italian, but perhaps more damaging is the messaging coming from several of Infantino\u2019s colleagues at FIFA.<\/p>\n<p>FIFA Secretary-General Mattias Grafstrom <a href=\"\/sports\/2026\/8\/4\/more-key-fifa-staff-break-ranks-as-infantinos-world-cup-plan-faces-mutiny\">sent an internal memo<\/a> to staff lamenting the \u201csad and reproachable series of events\u201d that led to the project being \u201cpermanently abandoned\u201d, two sources told the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container--ads in-article-ads\">\n<div class=\"ads\"><span

The institution, its mission and its responsibility towards world football continue \u2026\u201d the Swede added in the letter, which made no mention of Infantino by name.<\/p>\n<p>His words echoed those \u200cof FIFA Chief Operating Officer Kevin Lamour, who said last week that staff had been \u201cdeceived\u201d over the plan, which he described as \u201cthe project of one person\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Infantino\u2019s senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro resigned in protest at the plan last week, and former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger distanced himself from it on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Wenger, the chief of Global Football Development at FIFA, said he was <a href=\"\/sports\/2026\/8\/4\/ex-arsenal-boss-wenger-was-not-aware-of-infantinos-fifa-plan\">not involved<\/a> in drafting the proposal and maintained the decision to withdraw it was \u201cabsolutely necessary\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-infantino-survive-until-the-fifa-presidential-election-in-march\">Can Infantino survive until the FIFA presidential election in March?<\/h2>\n<p>Infantino has spent the last week in Morocco, which will cohost the next World Cup in 2030 and whose football association has already announced its continued support for him.<\/p>\n<p>The first order of Wednesday\u2019s meeting at FIFA\u2019s Africa office in Sale, which sits across the Bou Regreg river from the Moroccan capital Rabat, is likely to focus on ensuring that Infantino at least survives the seven months until the election.<\/p>\n<p>An Extraordinary Congress could be called if 43 or more FIFA member associations make a formal written request for one.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report \u2060in The Times of London on Monday, UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) are determined to force Infantino out of office by paralysing FIFA and even starting \u2060up their own competitions if he refuses to go.<\/p>\n<p>CONCACAF, the AFC and FIFA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. UEFA said it had no comment.<\/p>\n<p>CONCACAF, which runs football in North and Central America and the Caribbean, and the AFC have backed UEFA\u2019s position, even if not every national association will follow their confederation\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar, which hosted the 2022 World Cup, as well as Kuwait, Lebanon, Sri Lanka and Indonesia have declared their loyalty to Infantino in the face of the AFC\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n<p>Infantino has always \u2060enjoyed a lot of support away from the traditional heartlands of the game, where impoverished football associations rely on FIFA\u2019s largesse to operate.<\/p>\n<p>It was at those associations that his proposal was pitched, with promises of a dividend of $20m to $40m at the start of next year for each national body which backed the plan.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"infantino-and-fifa-find-support-in-africa-before-caf-meeting\">Infantino and FIFA find support in Africa before CAF meeting<\/h2>\n<p>Leading African football administrators have <a href=\"\/sports\/2026\/8\/4\/top-africa-football-leaders-back-infantino-after-fifa-selloff-scandal\">sent messages of support<\/a> as Infantino looks to the continent\u2019s 54 members for backing.
