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.

Don’t take the Spanish people, or the rest of Europe, for fools.
What’s happening in Ceuta is exactly what you WANT. Legalizing illegals is your damn policy. That will be your “solution” here too. Why not add a few more to the 3 million you’re already about to legalize?
We know who you are. We know whose side you’re on. You’re a traitor.
UEFA Vice President Gabriele Gravina on Infantino trying to sell shares in FIFA 🗣️
“Does it look like the Super League? Very much so. The financial backers are the same, the idea is the same, but on a global scale. It’s even worse, though: football is being sold off. But football isn’t a private asset that you can sell to the highest bidder, how can you sell something that isn’t yours? Infantino didn’t invent it.”
Nailed it. 👏
Le immagini che arrivano da Ceuta sono impressionanti e dimostrano, ancora una volta, che l’immigrazione clandestina fuori controllo rappresenta una minaccia concreta per la sicurezza dei confini europei.
Mi sono confrontata con il Ministro dell’Interno Matteo Piantedosi. L’Italia non resterà a guardare. Stiamo convocando gli organismi preposti, e all'esito di queste riunioni siamo pronti a intervenire anche con strumenti straordinari per difendere i confini e la sicurezza dei cittadini, come la sospensione dello spazio Schengen con la Spagna.
Sull’immigrazione clandestina non arretreremo di un millimetro: difendere i confini, fermare i trafficanti di esseri umani e garantire rimpatri efficaci continuerà a essere la linea di questo Governo.
It's quite obvious that the USA World Cup was used by Infantino, in cahoots with Trump, to demonstrate to investors how much money can be extracted out of the beautiful game. The whole thing - the hydration breaks, the awful half time show - it was all a set-up.
Time for Infantino to go.
He's not fit for purpose nor is the organisation he runs.
Recinding a red card by a head of state, extortion of loyal fans via ticket prices both are reason enough for him to be gone.
Time for change.
Time for transparency.
Time for players, fans and the next generation to be prioritised.
InfantiNO.
Concacaf, the confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean, says it rejects FIFA’s plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
All 41 members of Concacaf met on Thursday to discuss the proposals.
One source with knowledge of the meeting, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, said the feeling and discussion expressed among the vast majority of Concacaf members was that they are losing confidence, or have lost confidence altogether in Gianni Infantino as FIFA President.
A second person considered that to be a slightly stronger description of the meeting than they took away from it, but acknowledged widespread concerns over the current FIFA approach to leadership and transparency.
