FIFA is responding to what it describes as a “concerted and ongoing effort” to undermine its president, Gianni Infantino, and the organization itself. The statement comes as Infantino faces increased scrutiny following the collapse of plans to sell a stake in the World Cup and new allegations regarding his time at UEFA. Specifically, reports have surfaced alleging that UEFA paid off an alleged mistress while Infantino was leading European football’s governing body; he has denied these claims.
The organization characterizes the effort against Infantino as an attempt to destabilize it, but details of who is behind this campaign remain unclear. Several sources report FIFA's strong criticism of those attempting to undermine both its president and the wider organization.
