President Donald Trump urged FIFA's member associations not to replace Gianni Infantino after a failed plan to move key World Cup commercial assets into a subsidiary and sell private investors about 20% of the business triggered a major governance clash. UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation said Infantino had broken trust "through deception" over a proposal linked to a valuation of roughly $20 billion, while later reports said he was poised to back a 64-team 2030 World Cup as he sought support ahead of a March 18, 2027 FIFA Congress and reelection contest. Support for Infantino has come from federations including Argentina, Mexico, Qatar and Morocco, as well as the Confederation of African Football, while UEFA has kept open boycott threats and reports said UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC were considering alternative tournaments if the standoff escalates.
