Despite World Cup success, controversy-marred Infantino faces tough election

Gianni Infantino is in a dogfight to save his FIFA presidency.

Those follow similar rebukes from Europe's UEFA and North America's CONCACAF.

Gil Membrado, a imagen y semejanza de Carlos Sainz

El antiguo 1000 Lagos sigue estando catalogado como la ‘universidad’ de los rallies. Y él se ha graduado allí con honores, nada más asomarse por primera vez a los apabullantes bosques donde se fraguaron las grandes leyendas de este deporte. Gil Membrado ha conquistado una victoria monumental en Finlandia, emulando a Carlos Sainz 36 años después de que su mentor sometiera en su propio terreno –después de sólo dos incursiones previas– a los grandes especialistas locales. Lo nunca visto hasta ese momento: una de las gestas más sobresalientes sin duda en la carrera del bicampeón español.

Sepp Blatter vil ha Lise Klaveness som Fifa-president

Den tidligere Fifa-presidenten Sepp Blatter (90) peker på Lise Klaveness som den beste kandidaten til å ta over fra kontroversielle Gianni Infantino som Fifas øverste sjef.
Blatter, som i sin tid måtte gå av som Fifa-president etter flere kontroverser og etterlate tronen til Infantino, har vært en sterk kritiker av sin etterfølger.
– Lise Klaveness fortjener den aller største respekt. Hun var den eneste som alltid tok et klart standpunkt og skilte seg ut fra strømmen. I Fifa er det på tide at en kvinne tar over ledelsen, skriver Blatter på X, etterfulgt av emneknaggene LiseKlaveness, NorgesFotballforbund, Norge, Fifa, GianniInfantino, Uefa og Lise4president.
Infantino er under hardt press etter at han lanserte planer om å selge ut en del av VM-produktet til eksterne investorer. Etter kraftig motbør, særlig fra Europa, ble forslaget trukket tilbake.
Nå går debatten om Infantinos framtid. Det europeiske fotballforbundet (Uefa) erklærte i helgen mistillit til Fifa-ledelsen. (NTB)
