Source: The Guardian Sport - Published: 20 Oct 2026 07:40

Anter Isaac, chair of Football Australia, has downplayed worries regarding FIFA's controversial World Cup privatization efforts led by Gianni Infantino. His comments come as support for Infantino appears to be growing, particularly from South America and parts of Asia, ahead of the FIFA presidential election in March.

Isaac emphasized that FIFA's revenue has surged in recent World Cup cycles, suggesting that the organization’s internal processes may need improvement. He refrained from expressing explicit support for Infantino, stating it is too early to make such declarations.

Watch for developments from the Asian Football Confederation congress in Tokyo, where discussions may influence FIFA's governance. Isaac's emphasis on improving internal processes suggests potential reforms could emerge, impacting future leadership dynamics.
