Soccer: Pressure is mounting on Infantino after New Zealand also withdrew support

# Soccer: Pressure keeps mounting on FIFA president Gianni Infantino after New Zealand became the latest country to withdraw support for his re-election next year. Several countries have already decided not to back the Italian for a fourth term, while the governing bodies of Europe, Asia and the Americas called for a review of his leadership. This follows his failed plan to sell a stake in FIFA’s commercial operations to a private investment company. New Zealand has asked for an independent review of the proposal.
