A senior figure at Fifa has left world football’s governing body three weeks after criticising a plan linked to its president, Gianni Infantino.

Lamour’s departure comes after criticism of the Infantino plan, although the supplied material does not specify the nature of the proposal, Lamour’s exact role within Fifa, or the terms on which the departure took place.

Fifa is football’s global governing body and is led by Infantino as president. The exit of a senior figure so soon after criticism of a presidential plan is likely to attract attention because of the timing and the individual’s position within the organisation.

No further details were provided about any official response from Fifa, Infantino or Lamour. The latest known position is that Lamour has left the organisation following the criticism made three weeks earlier.
