Players Demand FIFA Leadership Change | Belfast News

High-profile footballers including Mikael Silvestre, Lucy Bronze, and Emmanuel Petit are demanding leadership change at FIFA, declaring “enough is enough” as growing pressure mounts on president Gianni Infantino. Players, speaking from within FIFA’s own advisory panel, accuse current leadership of prioritizing personal interests over the sport’s core values and ignoring player and fan input. The controversy intensified after Infantino’s controversial proposal to sell World Cup stakes to private investors — a plan rejected by UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC. With UEFA president Ceferin hinting Infantino must either step down or face a challenger in March elections — and CONCACAF’s Montagliani emerging as a potential rival — the future of FIFA’s governance hangs in the balance as players and fans unite for reform.
