FIFA President Gianni Infantino convened a crisis meeting on Wednesday at the organization's Africa headquarters, located within the Mohammed VI complex in Salé, near Rabat, Morocco, according to an anonymous source close to the matter who spoke to AFP.
The meeting comes amid mounting criticism over a recently abandoned project, though details of the project and the reasons for its failure have not been officially disclosed. The source indicated that the meeting was held to address the fallout and discuss next steps.
An AFP journalist observed heightened activity at the entrance to the complex, but no official statements have been released by FIFA or Infantino's office as of yet. The meeting underscores the pressure facing the FIFA leadership as it navigates controversies in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup, which is set to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
This is a developing story. Further details are expected to emerge following the conclusion of the meeting.
