Norwegian Football Association calls for Infantino's resignation
Following recent developments in FIFA, Norway's football association openly criticizes President Gianni Infantino and demands his immediate resignation.
The Norwegian Football Association has recently called for the resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. President Lise Klaveness stated that trust in Infantino has been irrevocably lost following the failed sales plans for the World Cup. The association criticizes Infantino for not taking European concerns seriously enough.
In recent weeks, there has been increasing opposition to Infantino's leadership, particularly from Europe. The Scandinavian association sees the current developments as a reason to specify its demands. The planned investor deal with FIFA, which is now off the table, has also exacerbated the situation.
The unified stance from Europe against Infantino is evident in the statements from the Norwegian association, which is not the only one opposing the FIFA president. Pressure on Infantino is mounting as discussions about the future of FIFA continue.
