Gianni Infantino attends Under-20 Women's World Cup amid calls for resignation

Fifa president Gianni Infantino made his first major public appearance since the collapse of his commercial proposal at the opening of the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland. During the event, he was observed speaking with Polish soccer federation president Cezary Kulesza while the tournament began with a match between Poland and Argentina. The appearance follows weeks of internal conflict after Infantino abandoned a plan to sell off World Cup commercial rights for $20 billion. Governing bodies including Uefa have called for his resignation, and legal proceedings between Fifa and Uefa continue. Fifa recently filed a court submission accusing Uefa of conducting a smear campaign to maintain its market dominance over developing football nations. European representatives have dropped a proposed boycott of the tournament following assurances that the commercial scheme would not be restarted.
