英国首相安迪·伯纳姆周日公开表示，FIFA主席因菲蒂诺"不是领导世界足球发展的合适人选"[1]。这一表态反映了国际足坛对因菲蒂诺领导力的广泛质疑。
因菲蒂诺试图向私人投资者出售世界杯股份的计划遭到强烈反对，最终被迫放弃[1]。欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）周六宣布对FIFA领导层失去信心[1]，其55个成员国则在周四同意抵制世界杯和所有其他FIFA比赛[1]。北美中美加足联（CONCACAF）也加入批评之列，指责FIFA领导层"停止了以足球为首"[1]。下一届FIFA主席选举定于明年3月在摩洛哥拉巴特举行[1]，候选人报名截止日期为11月18日[1]。
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated on Sunday that FIFA President Gianni Infantino is unsuitable to lead the global football governance body [1]. His remarks come following the abandonment of Infantino's controversial plan to sell World Cup shares to private investors, which triggered widespread backlash from continental football confederations [1].
The criticism has intensified organizational pressure on FIFA's leadership. UEFA announced on Saturday that it has lost confidence in FIFA's management and signaled potential support for challenges to Infantino's presidency [1]. The European confederation's 55 member nations had agreed on Thursday to boycott the World Cup and all other FIFA competitions in response to the proposed commercial scheme [1]. Similarly, CONCACAF stated that FIFA leadership has "stopped putting football first" [1]. Burnham directly echoed this sentiment, declaring: "I do not think he is the right man to lead the development of world football" [1].
The next FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March 2026 in Rabat, Morocco, with candidate registration closing on November 18 [1].
