This remarkable French step comes to increase the amount of pressure and challenges facing Infantino on the European football scene, in light of growing dissatisfaction with his management style in world football and his recent decisions that have met with widespread objections, including the amendments proposed to the agenda of continental and international competitions and the lack of the required transparency in some projects.
Despite the expansion of the front opposing a new term for Infantino and the joining of continental and European federations to a conservative position, he remains the only declared candidate so far to run in the electoral race, amid intense movements behind the scenes of international sports that may reshape the electoral map before the date of deciding the ballot.
