Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

🚨 FIFA's COO Kevin Lamour tells @AP he feels "deceived" by Gianni Infantino.
"What has been announced in recent days and what has been happening behind the scenes in recent months defies belief and imagination.
"To put it very clearly and directly: the project that has sparked so much controversy and debate is not a Fifa project. It is even less a project of Fifa’s administration. It is the project of one person.
"The Fifa vice-presidents, the members of the Fifa Council, the confederations, the federations, the players, the leagues, the clubs, and the fans were not the only ones who were ignored. Fifa’s own administration was also deceived.
“This lie by omission over many months and this unilateral exercise of power are not trivial. They are indicative of a lack of trust, a lack of transparency, a lack of discernment, a lack of good governance. And a serious lack of respect.
"Not only must this project not go ahead - for obvious reasons that need not even be listed here - but the time has now come for football political leaders to ask themselves the right questions and make the right decisions.
“Regarding this project and what comes next, everyone must take responsibility, because it is becoming increasingly difficult for Fifa’s administration to work under these conditions and fulfil its mission.
"Our mission - the mission of the hundreds of passionate, dedicated and exemplary Fifa employees - is to serve football. Not to serve the personal interests of a person who, unfortunately, believes he embodies Fifa when he is supposed to be at its service.
"A president must bring people together, unite them and inspire them. Today, we are experiencing the opposite. I have no authority to speak on behalf of my colleagues, and perhaps I am mistaken. But my feeling is that we all want to be proud to work for Fifa, and today, unfortunately, it seems that is no longer the case for many of us. That saddens me.
"My colleagues - some of whom have dedicated their lives to football - deserve better than contempt and intimidation.
"The ball is now in the court of those who have the power to change things.
"I know I have a duty of loyalty to my employer. But I also, and above all, have a duty of loyalty to certain values and to the upbringing I have received, and a duty to support my colleagues. And if that means I lose my job, then so be it. I will understand and respect that decision. At least I'll sleep well tonight."
•Cameroon’s Lionesses deserve better. FECAFOOT cancels friendlies.
•Nations Cup is coming, but FECAFOOT left the Lionesses without opponents, without a coach, without respect. This pattern must change. #WomenInFootball#Cameroon
•Dr. Metende Mballa: “It is a shame that a federation led by a former player cannot understand that practice makes better.” Cameroon’s women’s football is being betrayed. #SupportTheLionesses
Fecafoot’s Neglect of Women’s Football: A betrayal of Cameroon’s Talent
•Cameroon’s Lionesses deserve better. FECAFOOT cancels friendlies, fails to hire a coach, and ignores FIFA breaks. “Practice makes better” yet the federation sabotages preparation. #FECAFOOTFail#Lionesses

@BassongArmel Ce n est pas une affaire de feministes. Je pense cette foos Maitre Bassong a tout faux. Car statistiquement parlant elles sont meilleurs leaders/managers d entreprises que leur homologues masculins.!!! Maintenant en nombre elles sont encore trop peu valorisees ou reconnues!!!
