Uefa, the Asian Football Confederation, and Concacaf have jointly urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign, citing a breakdown of trust following his controversial Football Forward Enterprise scheme. An open letter from the confederations criticized Infantino's leadership and called for an independent review of the situation.

The confederations are reportedly exploring the organization of new competitions and have raised concerns about the potential absence of European teams at upcoming FIFA events, including the under-20 women’s World Cup. Discussions about suitable candidates to replace Infantino are also underway, with Concacaf President Victor Montagliani emerging as a leading contender.
