Infantino Laughs Off Resignation Questions, Cites "Vast Majority" Backing

Fifa president Gianni Infantino laughed off questions about whether he had considered resigning over the World Cup sell-off debacle, insisting he remains backed by the "vast majority."

Rather than answer the question about his future directly, Infantino met it with amusement. He pointed to the support he says he still has, describing it as the "vast majority," but did not say who makes up that majority or how he measures it.

For a governing body already facing questions about the sell-off, the response signals that Infantino has no intention of stepping aside. It does little, however, to address the substance of the criticism that prompted the questions in the first place.
