Scotland Withdraws Support for Infantino

Scotland has announced it will not support current FIFA president Gianni Infantino in his re-election bid next year, aligning with UEFA's position.

Scotland has joined other UEFA nations in refusing to support FIFA president Gianni Infantino in his re-election campaign. According to SFA CEO Ian Maxwell, Scotland's position is clear since the 55 UEFA associations met: 'We support UEFA's position, and 55 nations are stronger than one vote.'

Infantino faces criticism after FIFA announced plans to create a commercial company to sell shares of FIFA tournaments to private entities. The FIFA Congress in Morocco next March will see Infantino seek another term, though he currently has no opponent. Maxwell explicitly stated: 'SFA will not vote for Gianni Infantino in 2027.' European nations are expected to unite around a single candidate to challenge Infantino, as suggested by Lise Klaveness. truewildgame.online
