Fifa has strongly criticised what it says is an organised attempt to weaken both the world football governing body and its president, Gianni Infantino.

The organisation described the activity as a “concerted and ongoing effort” to “undermine” Fifa and Infantino. The criticism relates to a campaign characterised as seeking to remove the president from his role.

No further details were provided in the supplied material about who Fifa believes is involved, what specific actions are alleged, or where the campaign is taking place.

Infantino is the central figure named in Fifa’s response. The organisation’s criticism frames the matter as directed not only at him personally but also at Fifa as an institution.

There was no additional response included from any individuals or groups alleged to be connected to the campaign. The latest known position is that Fifa has rejected what it says is an ongoing effort aimed at the organisation and its president.
