German Politician Calls for Ban on FIFA Chief Infantino
Sascha Binder, a member of the Social Democrat Party (SPD) in the German parliament, has written to the German FA (DFB) requesting a ban on FIFA president Gianni Infantino from all stadiums in Germany. This call comes in response to FIFA's controversial plan to offer commercial rights for competitions, including the World Cups and Club World Cup, to investors, which has faced significant backlash from UEFA and various national federations.
Binder expressed that this move represents a detrimental shift for German football under Infantino's leadership, stating that it is essential for German football to demonstrate that profit-driven policies have no place in the sport. He urged the DFB and German clubs to unite against commercial influences in football.
The DFB declined to comment on the request. In contrast, Infantino dismissed the rumors, clarifying that the FIFA Forward Enterprise is an opportunity rather than an obligation, emphasizing FIFA's openness to discussion.
