Wales withdraw support for Infantino re-election bid over World Cup privatisation plan

The Football Association of Wales has become the first national association to withdraw its support for Gianni Infantino's re-election as Fifa president, saying he has lost its confidence. The move follows Infantino's shelved plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, which was rejected by three confederations before being abandoned. A national association publicly withdrawing confidence in a sitting Fifa president is a rare act of institutional dissent, and could signal broader opposition to Infantino's leadership as scrutiny of his decade in charge intensifies.
