KNVB chairman Frank Paauw has expressed his disapproval of FIFA president Gianni Infantino. In an interview with ESPN, Paauw stated that Infantino is "completely detached from reality" and has come to believe in his own power. Paauw has known Infantino since 2004, when he was a Swiss lawyer working at the UEFA. Paauw believes that Infantino has changed over the years, from a professional to someone who is detached from reality and believes in his own power. The KNVB is trying to gather support to ensure Infantino is not re-elected in March. Paauw also thinks that the entire FIFA administration should be re-examined to improve transparency.
