FIFA President Gianni Infantino will remain in his position following a crisis meeting held on Wednesday in Rabat, Morocco, according to multiple reports. The meeting was attended by senior FIFA officials, including Secretary General Mattias Grafström, and was convened to address recent controversies surrounding the organization.
The meeting came amid ongoing scrutiny over FIFA's handling of various issues, including the bidding process for the 2034 World Cup and allegations of governance lapses. However, no official statement has been released detailing the specific outcomes of the discussions.
Infantino, who has led FIFA since 2016, has faced calls for reform from some member associations and critics. Despite the pressure, he retains the support of a majority of FIFA's council, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The crisis meeting in Rabat was part of a series of diplomatic engagements by Infantino in Africa, a region that has been a key focus of his presidency. The decision to keep Infantino in office is expected to be formally confirmed in the coming days.
