Gianni Infantino is in a dogfight to save his FIFA presidency. The national soccer federations of Sweden and Wales have withdrawn their support for his re-election bid, with the English Football Association reportedly set to do likewise. Those follow similar rebukes from Europe's UEFA and North America's CONCACAF.
