FIFA Council rebels against Infantino

Gianni Infantino faces a leadership challenge as FIFA Council members attempt to force an extraordinary general meeting.

FIFA Council members are rebelling against president Gianni Infantino, attempting to trigger an emergency general meeting that could develop into a full-blown leadership challenge. The move comes before the emergence of Infantino's abortive plan to sell stakes in the World Cup.

Council members are demanding an independent review into the unprecedented decision to lift Folarin Balogun's suspension during the World Cup, which involved multiple phone calls from Donald Trump, according to The Guardian. fishroad-app.com
