INFANTINO REBELLION… FIFA POWER STRUGGLE

FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has battered down a brewing palace revolt after an emergency showdown with top staff, but the war is far from over. The crisis exploded after his private-equity World Cup plan leaked, triggering open criticism from senior officials including Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom and raising fresh questions over Infantino’s grip on the global soccer giant. FIFA says its top management has “reaffirmed their full support,” a sign he may survive until the March 2027 election — but the backlash, especially in Europe and North America, is real, and the controversy around Joshua Kushner’s role is only adding fuel.
