Infantino to remain FIFA president after Rabat crisis meeting

FIFA confirmed on Wednesday that Gianni Infantino will stay on as president following an emergency meeting of senior executives in Rabat. Infantino issued written apologies to the FIFA council and all 211 member associations for failing to consult them over the World Cup sell-off, but retains the full support of his leadership team. The episode exposes a significant breakdown in governance at the top of world football, with FIFA's president forced into written apologies to all 211 member associations over a major commercial decision made without their knowledge.
