Welsh FA Withdraws Support for Infantino

The Welsh Football Association has become the first FIFA member to withdraw its support for President Gianni Infantino's re-election, citing governance failures.

The Welsh Football Association announced on Monday, August 3rd, that it would no longer support Gianni Infantino in his bid for re-election as FIFA president. The move comes after FIFA withdrew its controversial proposal to open up to external investors.

In a statement, the Welsh federation cited 'failures in terms of good governance, processes, and leadership' as reasons for withdrawing support, stating that Infantino had 'lost the confidence of the Welsh federation.' Gianni Infantino remains the only declared candidate for FIFA's March 2027 presidential election. h-doctor.club
