Gianni Infantino has been questioned over the level of support for his continued role as Fifa president after facing multiple calls to resign.

The scrutiny follows an abandoned attempt to sell private stakes in the World Cup, a move that has intensified pressure on the head of football’s global governing body.

Infantino, who leads Fifa, has been challenged over whether he retains sufficient backing to remain in the post. The issue has placed his leadership under renewed examination, with critics calling for him to quit following the failed proposal.

The source material does not state who made the calls for his resignation, when the questioning took place, or what response Infantino gave. It also does not provide further detail on the proposed sale of private stakes or why the attempt was halted.

The latest known position is that Infantino remains under pressure over his leadership as questions continue about support for him as Fifa president.
