Norway’s football governing body has formally called for Gianni Infantino to step down, arguing that his proposed World Cup profit‑sale scheme has shattered confidence in his leadership.
A Call for Resignation
Lise Klaveness, president of the Norwegian Football Federation, told reporters that trust in the FIFA chief has evaporated beyond repair, making any prospect of reconciliation impossible.
In response, UEFA issued a stark warning, threatening to boycott FIFA competitions, while the English Football Association confirmed it will not back Infantino’s bid for re‑election in March.
Norway has announced it will lodge a fresh complaint with FIFA’s ethics committee, targeting the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise, the much‑discussed Trump peace prize initiative, and the recent suspension of player Folarin Balogun.
During a summit in Rabat, Morocco, Infantino sought to rally support, but the combined actions of UEFA and Norway underscore a deepening rift among European football’s power brokers.
