FIFA : L’Italie lâche Gianni Infantino
The campaign for the 2027 FIFA presidency has taken another turn. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has decided to withdraw its support for the candidacy of Gianni Infantino (of Italian origin), thus demonstrating its desire to distance itself from the president of world football's governing body.
This decision comes at a time when relations between Gianni Infantino and several figures in European football have become strained in recent months. Some federations, in agreement with UEFA, are particularly critical of several policies advocated by the FIFA president regarding the governance and evolution of international competitions.
In a statement, the FIGC explained that it made this decision in agreement with UEFA and its president, Aleksander Čeferin. The Italian federation intends to strengthen its collaboration with other European national governing bodies around a shared vision of football.
FIGC President Giovanni Malagò confirmed this new direction. He asserted that Italy wishes to continue defending a football based on sporting merit, solidarity, sustainability, and a greater role for the fans.
For the Italian Football Federation, dialogue, listening, and collective responsibility must remain at the heart of international football. This position clearly reflects Rome's reservations about certain directions taken by Gianni Infantino.
Just months before the FIFA presidential election, scheduled for March 2027, this disengagement represents a political setback for the Italian-Swiss leader. The withdrawal of Italian support could also strengthen the European front, which seeks to exert greater influence on the future governance of world football.
