Summary
Conmebol, which has only 10 Fifa-affiliated members but includes iconic federations such as Argentina and Brazil, had on Thursday expressed its “concern regarding the repeated unilateral actions taken” by Fifa. There he managed financial alliances and promised the expansion of the World Cup, which at that time had 16 teams, to move to 24 participants, ensuring more direct quotas for African expulsions. Also, in the past, Rabat was officially confirmed as the headquarters where the presidential election of the agency will take place on 18 March 2027.
Furthermore, Uefa, for whom Infantino was general secretary from 2009 to 2016, issued a statement confirming "a departure payment was made to the individual in question". The 56-year-old Italian-Swiss lawyer, who has been in office since 2016, declined to answer a question from an AFP journalist about whether he considered Fifa’s woes to be over. BBC Sport has contacted Fifa and Infantino for comment.
