In a controversial move, the French Football Federation, led by Philippe Diallo, announced the withdrawal of its support for Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president. Diallo, in strong statements, accused Infantino of causing "serious harm" to the image and unity of football, attributing this decision to recent events at the World Cup.
Negative Impacts on Football
In a meeting held on Thursday, the French Football Federation unanimously decided to end its support for Infantino. Diallo expressed concern over "events during the World Cup" that clearly contradicted the principles of football management. He also referenced the plan to sell the World Cup, which was revealed in July and immediately faced widespread negative reactions.
This action by France, as a renowned football nation, could serve as a warning to Infantino and his management at FIFA. Infantino, currently one of the most controversial figures in the football world, has faced significant criticism in various areas before.
Consultation with Former Officials
In light of these developments, the French Football Federation announced that it will consult with Kevin Lamour, a recently dismissed FIFA official. This decision reflects the French Football Federation's determination to review its policies and assess the consequences of Infantino's actions.
Could this action by France lead to an earthquake in FIFA's structure? Or will Infantino overcome the challenges with new measures? The future of global football is in his and his colleagues' hands, but it seems that the French Football Federation is no longer willing to remain silent.
