FIFA Council Rebels Challenge Infantino Leadership

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. The move to call an emergency general meeting was already underway before the emergence of Infantino's abortive plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup.

The Guardian has learned that the rebellion represents a significant challenge to Infantino's leadership, with council members seeking to hold him accountable for controversial decisions during the recent World Cup tournament. betsport24.es
