Calls for Infantino's Resignation After Spain's World Cup Win

Following Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the final of the 2026 World Cup, LaLiga President Javier Tebas publicly called for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign. Tebas criticized FIFA's management, particularly regarding hydration breaks and the musical performance during the final held in New Jersey.

He cited the incident involving United States striker Folarin Balogun as an example of Infantino's mismanagement, stating, “In my opinion, yes, I think his time is up.” Tebas' remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting his call for Infantino's resignation, while others believe it would be challenging for him to step down due to his backing from many football associations worldwide. Comments varied from suggestions for term limits on FIFA presidency to accusations of corruption and mismanagement, reflecting a divided opinion on Infantino's leadership.
