Infantino Ally Claims FIFA Support Still Strong

One of Gianni Infantino's closest allies has said he would "take a bullet" for the FIFA president and is confident that he still has the backing of its all-powerful congress. Véron Mosengo-Omba, president of the Congolese Football Federation, admitted he was against Infantino's controversial World Cup sell-off plan but backed him to stay on as president. sweetbonanza.qpon

Uefa, Concacaf, and the Asian Football Confederation have been increasing efforts to oust Infantino since publishing an open letter calling for "leadership that serves football." FIFA has accused his opponents of trying to undermine the organization, while Uefa seeks support to call an emergency congress for a no-confidence vote, though doubts remain about reaching the required threshold.
