The French Football Federation (FFF) announced the withdrawal of its support for Gianni Infantino's re-election to the FIFA presidency. The federation justified this decision by stating that the conditions established to maintain this support "are no longer met".
This position arises in a context of tension between the FFF and the current FIFA leadership. The French federation had previously expressed support for Infantino, but the conditions that had motivated that decision appear to have been altered.
The withdrawal of French support represents a significant signal within European football, given the weight and importance of the federation of one of the countries with the greatest sporting tradition on the continent.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who is seeking a third term at the head of the organism governing world football, thus sees the support of one of the founding federations of European football withdrawn.
