FIFA - All that’s wrong with football

Can’t we shame them in public?
How can these ‘FIFA executives’ back Infantino after he personally try to sell off FIFA to greedy US investors?

How can they say, they will not tolerate FIFA’s name being humiliated and being accused of corruption when every public person and their dog knows FIFA are corrupt. We are not stupid.

Uefa say World Cup boycott may still go ahead as English FA withdraws Infantino support

16:51 BST

European teams could still boycott competitions including the World Cup as Uefa says Fifa’s defence of its president Gianni Infantino “changes nothing”.

The English FA also confirmed it has sent a letter withdrawing their support for Infantino in reaction to the plan to sell of stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

European governing body Uefa said - in a statement - its conditions had not been met despite that plan being aborted.

"First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.

“These conditions have not been met.”

Uefa has already said it has lost confidence in Infantino, calling the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal a “shabby, back room, opaque deal”.

I can’t access the whole article.

“a group of top directors known as the FIFA bureau of the management board”

“Mattias Grafstrom, FIFA secretary general, left, in Philadelphia last month. He was among three “yes” votes for the privatization plan.”

There you go @Hope.in.your.heart , I guess in time, we’ll learn about all their names.

Probably the same who kept their confidence in Infantino now.

I had already formed an opinion on whether I thought FIFA needed a change of leadership long before recent events but this really cements it

I think rotating really is the only way, you may get them rotating on the make but it seems a job for life.

Rotating is an option,but term limiting,say 3years ,would not give anyone a chance to do too much damage.
But whatever they decide the status quo cannot continue in the light of recent history,to do so would likely lead to a breakaway,which may not be the worst option,properly managed.

Kevin Lamour, key FIFA official who criticised Infantino’s World Cup plans, leaves role

Aug. 17, 2026 Updated 3:05 pm EDT

Kevin Lamour has left his position as chief operating officer at FIFA.

Lamour’s departure comes after the FIFA executive released a statement to the Associated Press on July 31 criticising Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, amid the fallout from the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal.

Meanwhile, Sky reported it as sacking.

Kevin Lamour - with that name he can easily make it as a male pornstar.
