Infantino to Hold Crisis Meeting with Senior FIFA Staff The crisis meeting convened by Gianni Infantino in Morocco this week is a stark acknowledgment of his presidency's irretrievable collapse.
The FIFA president, once touted as the standard bearer for football's global elite, now faces criticism from all sides: his World Cup investment plans have been scuppered, his leadership questioned by senior colleagues, and his relationship with member associations frayed.
Infantino's troubles began when he attempted to privatize the commercial aspects of FIFA's tournaments through the ill fated FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) project.
