Switzerland turns its back on Infantino

Gianni Infantino is in a kind of Cold War after everything that happened regarding the privatization of the competitions of the FIFAsomething that did not go ahead after the majority of Confederations spoke out against it and its image was greatly affected, almost with a momentary asylum in Morocco.

This has meant that Infantino has lost support from several countries in the face of a re-election and the one that will have been the worst for him is that of Switzerland, his native countrywhich was clearly expressed in the following terms: “comprehensive reassessment of the events of the past few months”. That’s what he said Peter Knäbelpresident of the Federation, who added that FIFA must comply “with the highest standards of transparency, accountability and institutional responsibility”, something that seems not to be met.

One of the main reasons that took part in the decision was the withdrawal of the sanction of Folarin Bolagunplayer from the United States, in the World Cup. Infantino was reportedly pressured by donald trump and allegedly intervened in the run-up to the duel against Belgium, which called into question the integrity of the competition.

“Credibility, transparency, accountability and effective participation of statutorily responsible bodies” are essential to building trust in FIFA’s leadership, the Swiss Federation said in the statement, which criticized Infantino’s failed plan to sell commercial rights to private investors.
