The KNVB has stated that it has lost confidence in Infantino and believes that a new president is not enough to address the issues within FIFA. They are calling for a fundamental transformation of the governing body, including a change in the way it is governed. This includes addressing the concentration of power around the president and the lack of separation between the president and the administration. The KNVB's move comes after Infantino abandoned the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, which aimed to open up certain commercial activities to private investors. The KNVB wants to bring together national associations and confederations from all continents to define the future of FIFA and determine the type of governing body that the international football community needs. They believe that this process should be led by a new leadership capable of implementing the necessary changes.
