Why Infantino is clinging on to power at FIFA

Why Infantino is clinging on to power at FIFA

Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

UEFA has said it is not lifting its boycott of the World Cup after FIFA president Gianni Infantino held a crisis meeting in Morocco. This appears to be in defiance of the letter issued by FIFA at the end of the meeting, which said it would "no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity".

The letter said Infantino had continued to have the support of everyone who attended the meeting, but some of FIFA's management team who had been critical of him were not there.

For now, he seems determined to hang on to power, but with UEFA also not backing down, is his position still under threat?

Mhari Aurora is joined by Rob Harris, Sky News' sports correspondent, to discuss what happens next.
