France withdraws support for Infantino's FIFA presidency

In France, the French Football Federation (FFF) has withdrawn its support for Gianni Infantino's re-election as FIFA president. This decision, made on September 10, 2026, aligns with other European federations that have also retracted their backing. The withdrawal follows Infantino's controversial proposal to sell a stake in FIFA competitions, which faced significant opposition. The FFF plans to consult with stakeholders to discuss reforms in FIFA's governance.
