A major political storm is brewing inside global football governance as several European associations heavily criticize FIFA President Gianni Infantino. German FA Chief Bernd Neuendorf dismissed Infantino’s newly proposed independent strategic review as a transparent ploy to secure re-election next year, stating that the president has squandered all remaining credibility. The Dutch, Swedish, and Welsh football federations have strongly echoed these concerns, demanding a much deeper and structural overhaul of FIFA’s leadership.
