Norway calls for Infantino’s resignation over FIFA leadership crisis

The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) is set to demand the resignation of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, citing a crisis of confidence in his leadership. Lise Klaveness, the head of the NFF, announced the decision on Friday, stating that Infantino no longer possesses the "institutional trust required to lead FIFA in a stable manner."

"There is no turning back for Gianni Infantino," Klaveness told reporters following a meeting of the NFF's governing bodies. The federation's move comes as Infantino prepares to seek re-election for a fourth and final term in March. He is currently the only declared candidate for the position.

He does not have the institutional trust required to lead FIFA in a stable manner in the current climate. There is no turning back for Gianni Infantino.

Infantino has been under significant pressure since the recent revelation of his plan to allow private investors into FIFA competitions, including the World Cup. This initiative, which was unveiled last week, has drawn considerable criticism and appears to have eroded support for his continued leadership.
