FIFA VP Csányi Withdraws Support for Infantino
Sandor Csányi, the Vice President of FIFA and head of the Hungarian Football Federation, announced on Thursday that he has withdrawn his support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This decision follows the unexpected departure of Chief Operations Officer Kevin Lamour, which Csányi described as "the final straw." Lamour had recently criticized a controversial proposal for private investment before retracting his support and reportedly being dismissed by Infantino.
Csányi praised Lamour's professionalism and ethical standards in his letter, which has been circulated among media outlets. Pressure on Infantino has been mounting, with confederations such as Concacaf, UEFA, and the AFC expressing concerns regarding his investment policies.
Infantino is expected to run unopposed for a third term in March, but the growing doubts about his leadership could jeopardize his anticipated success in the upcoming vote.
