Mexico and Argentina have publicly backed FIFA president Gianni Infantino as tensions continue to grow within world football’s governing body over his leadership and recent policy disputes.
The Mexican Football Federation has reportedly broken ranks with its regional confederation by openly supporting Infantino, a move that highlights widening divisions within football’s power structure.
Argentina has also expressed support for the FIFA president, strengthening his position as criticism from some football officials and confederation members continues to mount.
The backing from two of the Americas’ most influential football nations comes amid an escalating struggle over FIFA’s governance, strategic direction and the balance of power between the global body and regional confederations.
Analysts say the support from Mexico and Argentina could prove significant for Infantino as he seeks to maintain authority within FIFA and contain opposition from officials unhappy with his recent initiatives and leadership decisions.
