The Italian football federation FIGC has announced it will no longer support Gianni Infantino's bid to continue as FIFA president. This decision marks a significant blow to Infantino's chances of re-election, as Italy had previously been a key supporter of his presidency. The FIGC cited Infantino's recent decisions as the reason for its withdrawal of support. The federation has stated it wants to work with UEFA and other European associations to promote a vision of football based on merit, solidarity, sustainability, and fan centrality. This move is the latest in a series of setbacks for Infantino, who had previously maintained a position of strength within the international football structure.
