FIFA: Anger is growing within the giant organization against Gianni Infantino!

After the last World Cup, anger against Gianni Infantino increased. Opinions were conflicted about the Swiss man’s management of the huge football organization. Some were satisfied, and some were never satisfied with some things. It seems that it is time for a new FIFA president.

According to Wales Online, there will be emergency talks and meetings this week regarding radical changes to the massive system after there were many reports about the possibility of a private company being established to manage FIFA tournaments, which prompted many European countries to make a real decision to boycott FIFA tournaments.

UEFA was the first to complain about FIFA's decisions!

UEFA, the European football federation, was the first to object to the appointment of a private company to oversee the commercial assets of the World Cup, a company called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE). UEFA said in its statement against FIFA: "not an asset to trade."

The escalating situation has heightened friction between the two regulatory authorities. According to the Press Association, there is "much discontent and serious concerns" among UEFA's member nations. Although no emergency meeting has been officially scheduled for this week, sources suggest it is now unavoidable. European associations are anticipated to convene and deliberate on a unified stance, which may include considering a boycott of future World Cups should FIFA proceed with its proposals.

"This crosses a line that football's governing institutions should never cross, UEFA takes it extremely seriously. So should every national football association. So should every stakeholder: leagues, clubs, players, supporters, governments and everyone who cares about the future of the game.

The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade – especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially. None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA's to sell."

Numerous calls for Infantino's removal

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Premier League referee Keith Hackett weighed these factors before concluding that Infantino "needs to go" after the World Cup.

"I think that if the countries that are part of the FIFA structure, over 200 countries, each one of them has a right to vote for who is the head of that organisation," he said.

"I think anybody that's got any modicum of sense in football will recognise that this guy might have brought in extra cash, but I don't think he's done the services of FIFA as well as he could have done.

"So I think the first question to ask is, is this guy right to remain in that position given the outcomes? Now, he can't control everything, but he can control a great deal.

"And I think that he has allowed, more than anybody, the politics to come in. So I'm clear. I think this guy needs to go."
