FIFA executives continue to support Gianni Infantino after FFE backlash

Top FIFA executives reaffirmed their support for president Gianni Infantino on August 5 in Rabat, Morocco. This comes after Infantino's FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal was withdrawn following widespread criticism from soccer stakeholders and political groups. UEFA and Concacaf expressed strong opposition to the plan, raising doubts about Infantino's position. Despite these issues, a statement from FIFA confirmed support for Infantino among the organization’s decision-makers. Secretary General Mattias Grafström, who previously criticized the proposal, appeared alongside Infantino at a public event following the meetings.
