Aunque sea a modo de chantaje o amenaza de Infantino, darle la final del Mundial 2030 a Marruecos me parecería un paso muy interesante y acertado. El futbol es de todos. Una nueva final en Africa sería, sin duda, muy atractiva…
Everyone needs to realise the gravity of what is happening here and apply pressure from all angles. Football is being run by a man who has overriden laws/confinements of how the sport is played, to curry favour with political figures and big commercial stakeholders, in order to secure his own personal pay-day. Corruption has never been more entrenched from the very top. Those involved in football across the globe should be following Luis Figo’s statement demanding his removal.
Canadian PM Mark Carney says he has lost confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, after working closely with him on the 2026 World Cup.
"This is not how you run any business, a small business, let alone something that is a global responsibility.”
@henrywinter Certainly won't be a full 211 votes in favour.
I'd like to see Europe pull rank, no World Cup participation unless GI is gone, it's a mad cling to power.
FIFA: “Following a meeting in Rabat, Morocco, the Secretary General and members of the Management Board in attendance reaffirmed their full support for President Gianni Infantino as the only official elected by the 211 Member Associations.” Defiant. NB those “in attendance”.
BREAKING: Gianni Infantino & Mattias Grafström write in leaked letter:
"With the project withdrawn, FIFA will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process and will take all necessary measures to protect and safeguard its name and reputation."

Donde están todas las leyendas que fueron invitadas por FIFA a la Copa del Mundo? Va a decir alguna de ellas algo sobre lo que está pasando? Ahí es donde quiero ver yo a las verdaderas leyendas de este deporte. Las que priorizan la pureza del fútbol por encima de sus intereses personales.
Not a single person in Spain should be surprised by this.
For months it's been known the lobbying Morocco has done and now it's out in the open just how grubby the whole process is.
The question around Infantino shouldn't be who comes next but rather what comes next as FIFA can't go on with one person having the keys to the kingdom.
🚨🌍 ¡POLÉMICA TOTAL CON EL MUNDIAL 2030! 😳
Según The Times, Gianni Infantino habría prometido a Marruecos que la final del Mundial 2030 se jugaría en el Estadio Hassan II de Casablanca, desplazando al Santiago Bernabéu, a cambio de respaldo político en medio de la crisis que amenaza su continuidad al frente de la FIFA. 🇲🇦
El presidente de la FIFA lleva varios días en Marruecos sosteniendo reuniones mientras aumentan las presiones para que deje el cargo.
Luis Figo fue durísimo con Infantino:
🗣️ “El comportamiento más bajo, engañoso e interesado que jamás he presenciado en el fútbol.”
Por ahora, España y Portugal no han respondido públicamente a esta información.
🗞️ The Times.
🗣️ "It's too late to save his dignity but it's not too late to save football. He should go. Now"
UEFA Football Advisor Luis Figo has launched an astonishing attack on FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
Understand Saudi Arabia's silence on Gianni Infantino is in part down to forthcoming elections at the end of August.
The Saudi FA will hold an extraordinary general assembly meeting on August 30th before naming a successor to Yasser Al-Misehal, who resigned following Saudi Arabia's World Cup exit.🇸🇦
Non seulement la Fédération mexicaine 🇲🇽 interdit encore les montées et descentes alors que le délai a expiré (décision prise en 2020 pendant cinq ans pour permettre aux clubs de mieux se structurer)
Mais, surtout, elle menace les joueurs de possibles sanctions et représailles s'ils continuent de manifester contre cette décision
C'est typiquement le comportement d'un système mafieux
