Nordic countries call for FIFA president Infantino's resignation

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands have issued a joint statement supporting calls for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign, adding their voices to a growing chorus of criticism surrounding the governing body’s recent turmoil. The six Nordic football associations said the “current crisis” – marked by allegations of governance failures, lack of transparency in decision‑making and mounting legal challenges to FIFA’s recent reforms – has eroded confidence in Infantino’s leadership and threatens the integrity of the sport.

The statement, released ahead of the upcoming FIFA Congress, urges the organization’s executive board to initiate an independent review and to consider a leadership transition that would restore credibility among member associations. By aligning with other national federations that have expressed similar concerns, the Nordic group aims to amplify pressure on the president and prompt concrete action before the next election cycle. The development underscores the intensifying scrutiny of FIFA’s governance and signals that the call for change is gaining traction across multiple regions.
