Continental clash: where world football stands on Fifa and Infantino
With Oceania praising Fifa on Friday, all six confederations have finally had their say on the fallout from the World Cup sell-off plan
TL;DR
- All six continental confederations have now issued statements regarding the World Cup sell-off plan and Gianni Infantino's presidency.
- Confederations are split three-three on whether Infantino should remain Fifa president.
- New Zealand Football (NZF) has contradicted the OFC's stance, withdrawing support for Infantino and calling for an independent review.
- Confederation of African Football (Caf) and Conmebol support Infantino's third term, while UEFA is vehemently opposed.
- Individual member associations' votes may not align with their confederations' positions.
- The situation is unlikely to be resolved until Fifa's presidential election in Rabat in March.
- Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is considered a potential challenger to Infantino.
- The rebels need 106 votes to oust Infantino, and their success is not guaranteed.
