国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺在摩洛哥拉巴特的行政执行会议后获得了管理委员会的支持[1]。会议于周三在国际足联非洲办事处召开，管理委员会随后发表声明"重申对因凡蒂诺主席的全力支持"[1]。
此前因凡蒂诺提出将足联商业和赛事运营出售给私人投资者的计划遭遇强烈反对[1]。欧足联在周末表示失去了对因凡蒂诺的信心，指责该提案是"肮脏的、黑箱操作的、不透明的交易"[1]。国际足联秘书长马蒂亚斯·格罗夫斯特伦在内部备忘录中称这是"一个令人伤心和应受谴责的系列事件"[1]。
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has secured the backing of the governing body's management committee to remain in his position following an executive meeting held Wednesday at FIFA's Africa office in Rabat, Morocco [1]. The show of support comes amid significant opposition to Infantino's proposed plan to sell the organization's commercial and event operations to private investors [1].
The proposal has drawn sharp criticism from major football bodies, with UEFA expressing a loss of confidence in Infantino over the weekend and condemning the deal as a "dirty, opaque, backroom transaction" [1]. FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grofstrom characterized the sequence of events as "a sad and reprehensible series of developments" in an internal memorandum [1]. Following the meeting, the management committee released a statement reaffirming its "full support" for President Infantino [1].
