Albanian Football Association Withdraws Support for Gianni Infantino, Joining Serbia

The Albanian Football Association has withdrawn its support for Gianni Infantino’s candidacy for FIFA president, joining Serbia in a growing wave of federations turning against the incumbent. The decision follows mounting backlash over Infantino’s leadership, including a failed plan to sell a stake in the FIFA World Cup to private investors that faced fierce resistance. Reuters previously reported that Serbia had reversed its backing after reviewing events seen as damaging to FIFA’s reputation and governance. Other European federations are also under scrutiny for similar moves.
