Oceania backs Infantino as football's governing body civil war deepens

The Oceania Football Confederation has publicly declared support for Fifa president Gianni Infantino, following calls for his resignation from Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation. The OFC praised progress made under Infantino over the past decade, with New Zealand breaking from the confederation's position. The bloc's 11 votes could prove significant in any Fifa election. The alignment of smaller confederations behind Infantino against three major football bodies signals a deepening split in global football governance that could reshape how Fifa is run.
