Infantino stresses FIFA's duty to address financial disparities among members

FIFA President Gianni Infantino addressed the need to bridge the financial gap between wealthy and less affluent member nations during a meeting in the Dominican Republic. His comments come amid challenges following a failed plan to attract private investment for a $20 billion project. Infantino emphasized FIFA's role in promoting football development across all 211 member countries. This meeting occurred alongside a CONCACAF under-14 Challenge Series, despite opposition from CONCACAF President Montagliani regarding his attendance during rising criticism of his leadership. Infantino's reelection is anticipated next year.
