Could Infantino lose FIFA presidency after he lost the fight to sell off the World Cup?

FIFA President Gianni Infantino, 56, is facing a serious threat to his leadership after scrapping controversial plans to sell a stake in future World Cups, a reversal announced on Friday. The failed privatization attempt has significantly weakened his position and now jeopardizes his bid for re-election in 2027. While a formal removal process exists — ten years after he succeeded disgraced predecessor Sepp Blatter — ousting Infantino remains a difficult path for his opponents.
