Welsh FA Withdraws FIFA Support

Published August 3, 2026 · Updated August 3, 2026 · RFI

The Welsh Football Association has become the first FIFA member to withdraw its support for President Gianni Infantino's re-election, citing governance failures.

The Welsh Football Association announced on Monday that it is withdrawing its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino ahead of his re-election in March 2027. The decision comes shortly after FIFA abandoned its controversial proposal to allow external investors.

In a statement, the Welsh Federation cited "failures in terms of good governance, processes, and leadership" as reasons for withdrawing support, stating that Infantino "has lost the confidence of the Welsh federation to lead world football." Infantino currently remains the only declared candidate for the FIFA presidency. argolida.life
