Rabat – FIFA President Gianni Infantino is set to hold a meeting with senior FIFA officials in Rabat on Wednesday as pressure over his leadership continues to mount.
According to Sky Sports, several high-ranking FIFA officials have been asked to attend the meeting following a series of developments that intensified scrutiny of Infantino on Tuesday. The gathering comes at a time when the FIFA president is facing growing criticism over aspects of his leadership and some of the governing body’s recent plans.
The meeting in the Moroccan capital is expected to focus on key issues facing the organization as FIFA navigates an increasingly challenging period.
Pressure on Infantino escalated further after former FIFA president Sepp Blatter publicly endorsed Lise Klaveness, president of the Norwegian Football Federation, as a potential successor to lead world football’s governing body.
Blatter’s backing of Klaveness adds to the growing debate over FIFA’s future leadership as criticism of Infantino continues to intensify.
The Rabat meeting is therefore seen as a significant moment for the FIFA president, who is expected to discuss the organization’s next steps with senior officials amid increasing calls for accountability and leadership reform.
