Soccer fan groups from around the world have launched a public petition calling for the resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The movement suggests that Infantino has lost the right to lead the global soccer body.
The pressure on Infantino follows his efforts to seek private investment to run FIFA tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups. The petition specifically cites attempts to sell future World Cup profits to private investors as a primary reason for the call for his departure.
The non-profit fan network Football Supporters Europe (FSE) has backed the petition. In addition to Infantino's resignation, the groups are calling for widespread and wholesale reform of the organization to increase transparency.
