According to L'Équipe Football, the FCF, an associate member of the Fédération française de football (FFF) since a convention signed in late 2024, has defended Infantino, who is currently facing a violent crisis. The FCF praises Infantino's vision of football based on greater equity between FIFA member associations and a more balanced representation of different regions of the world. The FCF also commends Infantino's ability to listen and consult.
Infantino's reforms have allowed for a historic increase in the representation of the Oceania Football Confederation in international competitions, providing New Caledonia's teams with unprecedented opportunities to reach the final stages of the World Cup. Gianni Infantino is the president of the FIFA, a position he has held since the organisation's leadership was taken over by him in 2016.
