Norwegian Football Federation: Pressure on FIFA president Gianni Infantino intensified on Friday after Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) president Lise Klaveness publicly called on him to resign, arguing that he no longer enjoys the confidence needed to lead world football through its current governance crisis.
Speaking after the NFF's monthly board meeting, Klaveness said the trust between FIFA and key stakeholders had been severely damaged following the controversy surrounding the governing body's now-withdrawn investment proposal.
"Gianni Infantino no longer has the institutional trust required to lead FIFA in a stable manner. The international football community is facing a difficult period, and we believe new leadership is needed. We will therefore ask the FIFA president to resign," Klaveness told reporters as quoted by The BBC.
