Football Federations Speak Out Against Controversial FIFA Plan

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) joins the African Confederation and other entities in rejecting FIFA's controversial plan to sell part of the revenue from future World Cups, leading to a boycott by UEFA and criticism from various football organizations.

Support and Criticism in Global Football

The FMF supports Gianni Infantino's leadership in strengthening football through institutionalism. However, UEFA, the Asian Confederation, and Concacaf criticize the commercialization of the sport and call for a review within FIFA. Despite the plan's withdrawal, controversy persists.

Divergent Views

The African Confederation and now Mexico show their support for Infantino, while the Professional Footballers' Union demands reforms in his management, accusing him of abuse of power. The past World Cup brought in substantial profits for FIFA, but the president has faced criticism for controversial decisions during the tournament.
