Scotland Withdraws Support for Infantino

Scotland has joined UEFA nations in withdrawing support for FIFA president Gianni Infantino ahead of his re-election next year.

SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell confirmed in a BBC interview that Scotland aligns with UEFA's position against Infantino's re-election. 'SFA's position has been clear since the 55 UEFA associations met. We are behind UEFA's position, and 55 nations are stronger than one vote,' Maxwell stated. iwanktv.club

Infantino faces criticism after FIFA announced plans to create a commercial company to sell shares of its tournaments to private entities. The FIFA president is seeking re-election at the March 2027 congress in Morocco without any confirmed opponents yet. Maxwell made Scotland's position clear: 'SFA will not vote for Gianni Infantino in 2027.' UEFA president Lise Klaveness recently suggested European countries will likely unite behind a single alternative candidate.
