Fans across the globe have initiated an international petition calling for the resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, signaling a new wave of discontent against the head of world football. The movement, unified under the slogan "InfantinoOut," demands a complete overhaul of FIFA's structure.
The petition specifically condemns what it describes as Infantino's "shameful attempt" to sell 20% of the World Cup's commercial rights to private investors. This alleged move has, according to the signatories, "completely exposed a betrayal that football would never forget."
This latest challenge to Infantino's leadership comes from a broad coalition of fan organizations. It includes the European and African fan groups, the North American Independent Supporters Council, and approximately 40 national fan groups worldwide. These groups collectively express a loss of confidence in Infantino's administration.
Infantino's reported plan to sell World Cup commercial rights has already led to a loss of trust from the European, Asian, and Middle Eastern football confederations, as well as from organizations in Central and North America. The fan petition amplifies these concerns, demanding accountability and reform at the highest level of international football.
Sramotan pokuลกaj jedne osobe i to samog predsjednika da proda Svjetsko prvenstvo privatnim investitorima posve je razotkrio izdaju koju nogomet nikada ne bi zaboravio.
