KNVB expresses lack of confidence in FIFA President Infantino

The Dutch football association, KNVB, publicly stated its loss of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino on August 1, 2026. This follows Infantino's controversial proposals to allow private investment in World Cup stakes and expand the competition to 62 teams. The KNVB emphasized that Infantino's recent actions, particularly his handling of these proposals, led to a significant breach of trust. After widespread backlash, Infantino has since retracted the plans. The KNVB called for a transparent governance discussion involving all parties in international football.
