Fedofútbol still not supporting Infantino

The Dominican Football Federation (Fedofútbol) remains undecided on whether to back FIFA President Gianni Infantino's re-election campaign. This comes after a meeting in the Dominican Republic where Infantino sought support from Caribbean Football Union (CFU) representatives, an organization that is part of CONCACAF.

Fedofútbol President José Deschamps stated that the federation has "no decision whatsoever at this time" and will address the matter "at the precise moment." He explained that the decision rests with the executive committee, which comprises six members, and requires unanimous agreement. Deschamps clarified that the hospitality shown to Infantino during his visit should not be misconstrued as an endorsement.

Infantino is currently navigating significant controversy ahead of the FIFA elections scheduled for March. A recently surfaced proposal he championed involves selling a 20% stake in the commercial rights of major FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup, to private investors. This move has drawn criticism and raised concerns within the football community.

In other football-related news, Deschamps confirmed that the Estadio Cibao and the Félix Sánchez Stadium have been certified by FIFA to host upcoming matches for the Dominican national team. The team is set to debut in the CONCACAF Nations League League A, playing against Nicaragua on September 24 and Haiti on October 1.
