The French Football Federation has withdrawn its support for Gianni Infantino’s bid for another term as FIFA president, saying trust in the head of world soccer’s governing body has been broken.⁣
⁣
FFF President Philippe Diallo said the decision was taken unanimously by the federation’s executive committee.⁣
⁣
Diallo said France had initially backed Infantino in June, when he was the only declared candidate, but that subsequent events had changed the situation.⁣
⁣
The decision follows criticism of Infantino’s proposal to sell a 20% stake in FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, to private investors. The plan was abandoned in July after opposition from football’s regional confederations.⁣
⁣
Diallo said the proposal had raised serious concerns over FIFA’s governance and decision-making, particularly because federations had not been properly consulted.⁣
⁣
England and Italy are among several European federations that have also withdrawn their backing for Infantino.⁣
The FIFA presidential election is due to take place in Rabat on March 18, 2027.⁣
