English FA Set to Withdraw Support for Infantino
The English Football Association is set to write to FIFA President Gianni Infantino withdrawing its support for him amid the fallout from his scrapped plans to sell off stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors.
It comes as UEFA threatens legal action over the proposals and Wales publicly withdraw backing for Infantino’s bid to continue as FIFA president.
Next March, Infantino is set to stand for re-election for a fourth and final term as president and would need 106 votes from FIFA’s 211 members to win.
Sources have told BBC Sport the Scottish FA’s position on the future of Infantino remains aligned with UEFA’s lack of confidence in the 56-year-old.
