Soccer: FIFA management board reaffirms its full support for Infantino as president

# Soccer: FIFA says Gianni Infantino will remain president, with the management board reaffirming its support for his leadership. This comes as the governing body’s leaders held a crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco, yesterday, following mounting criticism of Infantino’s now-aborted proposal. He wanted to sell off stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. Infantino and secretary general Mattias Grafstrom have apologised for their “errors”. FIFA says with the proposal now withdrawn, it will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process.
