Netherlands calls for FIFA leadership change

Netherlands Football Association has passed a vote of no confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, calling for new leadership and organizational reform from 2027.

The Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) has expressed its lack of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, stating that FIFA needs new leadership starting from 2027. According to their statement, "this is about more than one person" as they call for broader organizational changes beyond just a new president. fishroad-app.com

The move follows similar stances from other UEFA countries, with the Norwegian Football Association going further by explicitly asking Infantino to resign. As of now, no candidates have been nominated to challenge Infantino for the FIFA Congress in March next year, with the nomination deadline set for November 18.
