FIFA’s declaration of “full support” for its under-fire president Gianni Infantino will spark open warfare in world football politics, sources have told the Press Association. The meeting in Rabat concluded with those executives giving him their backing and recognising Infantino was “the only official elected by the 211 FIFA member associations”. FIFA said “mistakes were acknowledged” at Wednesday’s meeting around how the plans for the creation of the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) company were developed. The most controversial aspect of the plan was to sell a 20 per cent stake in FFE to private investors. “It was agreed that it was not the intention for the FIFA Council and FIFA member associations to feel excluded from the process and that the process should have been handled differently,” the FIFA statement on Wednesday continued.
