"Recent reporting has included unsubstantiated assertions and demonstrably false claims concerning Fifa and its president," said the Fifa statement. Fifa on Saturday condemned “a concerted and ongoing effort by some to undermine” the world game’s governing body and its president Gianni Infantino as the controversy over his now shelved private investment plan rumbles on. Infantino has faced calls to resign and was also subject to allegations from a British newspaper on Friday that he paid off a lover while at European governing body Uefa. “Recent reporting has included unsubstantiated assertions and demonstrably false claims concerning Fifa and its president,” said the Fifa statement. Fifa said on Saturday it “will not support, facilitate or tolerate any process concerning the election of the Fifa president that is inconsistent with Fifa’s statutes, democratic procedures and established governance framework”.
