Key questions as Infantino faces Fifa executives

What the report says

Fifa president Gianni Infantino is due to meet senior officials in Rabat on Wednesday as pressure grows over his abandoned plan to sell off parts of Fifa’s commercial and event operations, according to BBC Sport Football. The meeting is expected to include secretary general Mattias Grafstrom and members of Fifa’s management board, with the aim widely seen as an attempt to steady the organisation after a week of internal criticism.

BBC Sport says the plan drew unusually public pushback from within Fifa, including a strongly worded memo from Grafstrom and the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro. Arsene Wenger, Fifa’s chief of global football development, also said he was not involved in the proposal and backed its cancellation. Outside Fifa, Uefa has said it has lost confidence in Infantino, while several member associations have withdrawn support for his re-election.

The article says Infantino is likely to be pressed on why the deal was pursued, what oversight existed and whether the process was fair. It also notes broader questions about governance and possible reforms, as well as speculation over whether the meeting could produce an apology, a promise of change or a stronger challenge to his leadership. BBC Sport reports that he is not expected to resign on Wednesday, but the situation may affect the run-up to Fifa’s next election cycle.
