The report says UEFA has declared it has “perdido a confiança” in Infantino’s leadership, while executive Kevin Lamour called for accountability: “Sobre este projeto e o que vem a seguir, todos devem assumir responsabilidade.”
Those remarks point to a wider challenge for the president. Critics cited in the report question ’s governance and decisions on major competitions, as well as the influence concentrated in the presidency. Infantino’s position had appeared secure, but the fallout may complicate his path toward another term.
The claims remain part of a developing dispute, but the central issue is clear: replacing a leader would not, by itself, resolve concerns over oversight or decision-making.
The report says critics want ’s Council to exercise stronger oversight and national associations to respond sooner when concerns arise. The distribution of revenue is also under scrutiny, with opponents arguing that the current system can reinforce presidential power and political support.
That debate matters beyond the boardroom. ’s decisions shape the global game, from tournament formats to host selections. Any reform effort will have to address how authority is shared and how those decisions are challenged-not simply who occupies the top job.
The report says nominations for the presidential election are due in November, with the vote scheduled for March. The next test will be whether ’s associations turn calls for accountability into concrete demands for reform, or allow the crisis to fade into another closed-door power struggle.
