The French Football Federation (FFF) has unanimously withdrawn its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s re-election bid, with FFF President Philippe Diallo speaking to journalists in Paris on September 10, 2026. Diallo said the image of football had been “severely damaged” and that confidence in FIFA’s current leadership had been compromised. He also said the federation no longer believes Infantino can deliver the governance reforms and greater transparency that football needs. The decision follows mounting criticism surrounding Infantino’s proposed creation of a commercial company involving FIFA competitions and the collapse of a plan to sell a stake in FIFA competitions to private investors. Diallo also stressed the importance of unity within global football and said these issues must be addressed during the next FIFA presidential term. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March 18, 2027, in Rabat, with candidates required to submit their candidacies by Novemb
