The German Football Federation (DFB) has publicly criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino following the abandonment of a controversial World Cup investor plan. The Danish and Dutch football associations declared they have lost faith in Infantino's leadership. DFB president Bernd Neuendorf called for an investigation into the decision-making process and emphasized the need for a different governance culture within FIFA. UEFA has indicated it would boycott FIFA events if the plan proceeded, which was ultimately scrapped due to lack of support from global football confederations. The DFB has not yet stated it has lost confidence in Infantino like UEFA did, but there are growing calls for changes in FIFA's leadership and governance style.
