Former Portugal international Luis Figo has called on Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA president, accusing him of failing to uphold the standards of football’s governing body.
In a statement, Figo said he was joining others within the football community in urging Infantino to step down from office.
“Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President,” he said.
The former Real Madrid and Barcelona star alleged that Infantino had “debased the office that he promised to elevate” and accused him of acting against the interests of the sport.
