Belgium has joined the ranks of countries turning against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to a report from Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. The development adds to growing pressure on Infantino as he prepares to stand for another term in office.
Aftenposten reports that Belgium is the latest nation to withdraw its backing for Infantino. The news comes amid escalating conflict surrounding the FIFA leadership, with other outlets, including Dagbladet, describing the situation as intensifying. The report did not specify the exact reasons behind Belgium's decision or detail any formal actions taken by the country's football association.
Infantino has so far resisted the mounting opposition. According to Norwegian broadcaster NRK and newspaper VG, FIFA has confirmed that Infantino will indeed run for reelection despite the criticism. The confirmation puts him on a potential collision course with member associations that have signaled their discontent.
