挪威足球协会周四召开会议，正式要求国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺立即辞职[1]。挪威足协主席利塞·克拉夫内斯表示："当信任消失时，领导力也必须受到评估。我们因此认为詹尼·因凡蒂诺作为国际足联主席的时代应该结束，并要求他辞职"[1]。这一呼声是因凡蒂诺因失败的世界杯商业计划面临的最新打击[1]。
该项计划旨在通过FIFA Forward Enterprise商业子公司出售世界杯利润份额，但已被国际足联放弃并为其失败道歉[1]。此前，欧洲足球协会已威胁抵制世界杯和其他国际足联竞赛[1]，英足总也撤回了对因凡蒂诺2025年3月连任的支持[1]。与此同时，墨西哥足球协会表示支持因凡蒂诺[1]。
Norway's football association called for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign immediately, marking the latest setback for the executive over a failed commercial scheme.[1] The Norwegian federation, led by President Lise Klaveness, stated that "when trust disappears, leadership must also be evaluated," and concluded that "Gianni Infantino's time as FIFA president should end," demanding his resignation.[1]
The demand stems from Infantino's unsuccessful FIFA Forward Enterprise initiative, a commercial subsidiary designed to sell shares of World Cup profits.[1] FIFA has since abandoned the plan and issued an apology for its failure.[1] The European Football Association maintains its threat to boycott the World Cup and other FIFA competitions, while England's Football Association has withdrawn its support for Infantino's reelection scheduled for March 2025.[1] The Mexican Football Association has voiced its backing for the FIFA president.[1]
