Uefa's statement was followed up by another from Concacaf, which governs football in North and Central America and hosted this year's World Cup, saying their 41 members rejected the proposals. Infantino became Fifa president in 2016 when he beat Asian Football Confederation president Sheikh Salman al-Khalifa by 115 votes to 88. Al-Khelaifi presided over a name change - to European Football Clubs. Former Uefa chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson told the BBC that Infantino has overplayed his hand and his position could be in trouble. When asked if Infantino should be removed from his role, Olsson said: "I think that should be a new start for football."
