Dutch Football Calls for FIFA Change

The Dutch Football Association has expressed no confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, calling for new leadership and institutional reforms starting in 2027.

The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) has officially withdrawn its confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, stating that FIFA needs "new leadership from 2027" but emphasizing that "this is about more than one person." In a formal statement, the Dutch federation stressed that FIFA must undergo institutional changes beyond simply replacing its president.

Several UEFA nations have recently withdrawn their support for Infantino, with the Norwegian Football Association going further by explicitly calling for his resignation. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March next year, with the nomination deadline set for November 18, though no candidates have emerged to challenge Infantino at this time. xsportfeed.quest
