Serie A, Premier League, LaLiga, and Bundesliga to critique FIFA leadership

Summary

Serie A, the Premier League, LaLiga, and the Bundesliga plan to issue a joint statement addressing governance challenges at FIFA. This comes as FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces intensified scrutiny over a controversial proposal to sell tournament commercial rights to private investors. Following the abandonment of that plan, several federations, including Italy's, have distanced themselves from Infantino's re-election bid. The leagues aim to advocate for improved oversight and greater involvement in decision-making regarding the global football calendar, with further details expected in the statement scheduled for release on Friday. No mention is made of directly demanding Infantino's resignation.
