The quickest route for Infantino's exit would be for the Swiss to resign, like his predecessor Sepp Blatter did in 2015. But Infantino still retains support and he could try to hold out until March, when he is up for re-election for a fourth and final term as president.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino's World Cup privatization plan faced backlash from UEFA, CONCACAF, Asian Football Confederation, and within FIFA.
The region that includes the U.S. said "a comprehensive reckoning with this presidency is imperative." Europe's soccer governing body said "the current FIFA leadership" has "lost UEFA's confidence."
