Swiss FA Withdraws Support for FIFA President Infantino's Re-election Bid

The Swiss Football Association (SFV) has rescinded its endorsement of FIFA President Gianni Infantino's campaign for re-election. The SFV's executive committee met this week and concluded they could no longer support the Swiss-born Infantino for another term leading world football's governing body.

This reversal follows an initial endorsement in June and comes amid growing scrutiny of Infantino's leadership. While the SFV did not detail specific reasons for the policy shift, the decision highlights internal dissent and concerns over FIFA's operations and Infantino's tenure. The European soccer body UEFA has also reportedly called for Infantino's removal, citing his failed proposal to sell World Cup stakes to private investors and pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a player ban.
