The leadership of Fifa is publicly questioned by football's governing bodies in Europe, North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Gianni Infantino's leadership of Fifa has been publicly questioned by football's governing bodies in Europe, North and Central America and the Caribbean. Uefa and Concacaf both released statements on Saturday criticising the leadership at the world governing body after Infantino said Fifa would no longer proceed with the proposal to sell stakes in their competitions to private investors. Uefa, which governs European football, welcomed the decision to withdraw the plan, describing it as a "victory for the whole game". The body accused of Infantino of failing to deliver on promises, quoting a speech he gave when campaigning to become Fifa president in 2016. Concacaf, which oversees football in North, Central America and the Caribbean, followed Uefa in criticising the plans, saying "unity had prevailed" and that the proposals were a "symptom of leadership that has stopped putting football first". "This recent unilateral and egregious act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of missteps and similar behaviour. A full review of this leadership must now take place," a Concacaf statement read. The fallout from the plans means Infantino is now under immense pressure as he seeks re-election for a fourth term as president at the Fifa Congress in March. Uefa were the first major governing body to react to Infantino's decision to drop the investment plans, saying the Swiss had failed to deliver on his promises.
