Shafaqna English– Following the departure of Chief Operating Officer Kevin Lamour, an increasing number of national football federations and FIFA officials have turned their backs on the organization’s president Gianni Infantino. The resignation was viewed by a FIFA vice‑president as the breaking point—the “final straw.”
The governing body announced Lamour’s exit on Monday, noting that it followed his recent public criticism of Infantino’s contentious plan to offload a stake in the World Cup’s commercial rights, along with those of other major tournaments. The timing of the departure has intensified scrutiny of the president’s leadership.
