FIFA President Gianni Infantino has secured public backing from six Arab football federations as his proposed $20 billion private equity financing plan for the World Cup faces widespread global opposition [1]. The federations of Morocco, Qatar, Egypt, Mauritania, Lebanon, and Sudan have expressed their "full support" for Infantino [1], offering him a significant show of solidarity during a period of mounting criticism from other continental governing bodies.
The backing from Arab nations comes as UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC have jointly issued a statement condemning the financing proposal as a "fundamental breach of trust" [1]. The opposition has extended to individual member associations as well, with Ireland withdrawing its support for Infantino's reelection bid [1]. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March of next year in Morocco, with the nomination deadline set for November 18 [1]. Infantino has served as FIFA president since 2016 [1].
