FIFA Board Reaffirms Support for Infantino After Rabat Meeting

Gianni Infantino has survived another round of pressure to step down as FIFA president, according to a statement released by the governing body’s board. In a brief press release, the board said it had “reaffirmed their full support for Gianni Infantino” following a meeting it described as “constructive and positive” in Rabat, Morocco.

The announcement comes amid a sustained campaign by a coalition of national football associations, players’ unions and civil‑society groups demanding Infantino’s resignation over allegations of corruption and governance failures. The board’s decision to back the president was presented as a vote of confidence in his leadership and the reforms the organization claims to be implementing.

While the statement did not address the specific accusations, it signals that FIFA’s executive remains united behind Infantino at this stage. The outcome of the meeting in Rabat will likely influence the next steps in the broader debate over the organization’s governance and the future of its top office.
