Pressure on Gianni Infantino increases as Uefa members prepare to oppose re-election

European nations are preparing to withdraw their letters of support for Gianni Infantino's re-election as FIFA president, significantly increasing pressure on him to leave his post. Infantino's position has been severely weakened following the collapse of his privately backed scheme to commercialise parts of the World Cup, which fell apart after UEFA member associations threatened to boycott future FIFA competitions. There is now a widespread appetite across Europe to see Infantino removed from the FIFA presidency as quickly as possible.
