Infantino Ally Claims Backing of Most Football Associations

Gianni Infantino's close ally Véron Mosengo-Omba claims the FIFA president still has the backing of most football associations despite mounting pressure over his controversial World Cup sell-off plan.

Véron Mosengo-Omba, president of the Congolese Football Federation and a close friend of Infantino, stated he would "take a bullet" for the FIFA president and is confident he maintains "overwhelming support" from the organization's congress. Mosengo-Omba admitted he opposed the FIFA Forward Enterprise scheme that sought to sell over 20% of World Cup rights to private investors but backed Infantino to remain in office.

The ally criticized the execution of Infantino's proposal, which compared to Uefa's selling of Champions League and Euros through independent companies. Meanwhile, Uefa, Concacaf, and the Asian Football Confederation continue efforts to oust Infantino, though they may lack the 106 votes needed to trigger a no-confidence vote at an emergency congress. blablasex.es
