AI SUMMARY
The Danish FA has accused FIFA's Legal Committee of evading critical questions regarding Gianni Infantino's controversial World Cup commercial stake proposal, reinforcing calls for his resignation.
- Danish FA (DBU) President Jesper Moller alleged that FIFA declined to answer critical questions at a Legal Committee meeting regarding the proposal to sell commercial stakes in tournaments.
- Moller expressed surprise that the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal was not on the agenda for the Legal Committee, which is the body that should be consulted on legal matters.
- FIFA stated it wants to await discussion on the matter at the upcoming Council meeting in October.
- Moller stated that the meeting confirmed FIFA cannot rebuild its credibility under current leadership and called for a change of president.
- The DBU previously vowed to find a credible alternative to Infantino in next year's election following the backlash over the tournament stake proposal.
- The FIFA presidential election is scheduled to take place in Rabat on March 18, 2027.
- Infantino still counts on enough votes to win re-election, prompting opponents to shift their strategy toward curbing his powers.
- UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and CONCACAF have called for leadership changes, with several European national associations, including France and Austria, withdrawing their support for Infantino.
