Gianni Infantino could face leadership challenge as Fifa Council members rebel

FIFA Council members are attempting to force an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) that could develop into a leadership challenge against President Gianni Infantino. The rebellion was already underway before revelations about Infantino's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup, with council members demanding an independent review into the decision to lift Folarin Balogun's suspension during the World Cup. The suspension controversy reportedly involved multiple phone calls from Donald Trump, making it an unprecedented situation in FIFA governance.
