Gianni Infantino is facing massive criticism from some of Europe’s biggest football nations. But does that mean his position at FIFA is under threat? With 211 member associations and one vote each, Infantino has built support around the world by expanding the World Cup, increasing development funding and strengthening political ties. Now, Morocco says it expects to host the 2030 World Cup final, while FIFA insists no decision has been made. So how much control does Infantino really have, and can he use that influence to remain in power? Also on the show is the sad reality of tennis. Tennis is facing a different challenge. Across England, tennis courts are being replaced by padel courts as the sport grows rapidly. Padel courts are smaller, can accommodate more players and may generate more money for operators. Is this simply a new sport finding its audience, or are financial incentives pushing tennis out? --- Gianni Infantino | FIFA President | Infantino 2027 | FIFA Election 2027 | 2
