Welsh FA Withdraws Support for Infantino

The Welsh Football Association has become the first FIFA member to withdraw its support for President Gianni Infantino's re-election, citing governance failures and leadership concerns.

The Welsh FA made the announcement on August 3, following FIFA's withdrawal of a controversial proposal to allow external investors. The association stated that "failures in terms of good governance, processes, and leadership" have put them in a position where Infantino has lost their confidence to lead global football.

"Not putting the interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept," the Welsh FA added. Infantino remains the only declared candidate for re-election as FIFA president in March 2027 for a four-year term. akupunkturabielsko.pl
