The Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) has expressed plans for an international summit in the Netherlands. This meeting is intended to discuss the future of the global football body FIFA, as well as the role of its president, Gianni Infantino.

According to a letter from the KNVB to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, which also involves other football federations in the discussion, Infantino is not welcome at the summit.

The KNVB is taking the initiative to discuss significant changes within FIFA and is making proposals in the letter, which is in the possession of NOS.

The summit may also welcome representatives from various continents, as these federations join in opposition to Infantino.

In its announcement, the KNVB emphasizes the need for a serious reassessment of FIFA's leadership and policies.

The idea for this meeting was announced by the KNVB in a statement released on Sunday.
