    New Zealand Football Withdraws Support For FIFA Chief, Calls For Independent Review

    By IANS News August 14, 2026 • 10:34 AM View: 271
    New Zealand Football: New Zealand Football (NZF) has announced that it has formally withdrawn its support for the candidature of Gianni Infantino as FIFA president at the 2027 FIFA Congress and also called for an independent review into the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) scheme.

    The New Zealand body is the latest organisation to formally withdraw its support for Infantino as he seeks re-election as FIFA president.

    Infantino is seeking re-election next year after proposing carving off the commercial rights to the World Cup and selling 20 percent to private investors to raise about USD 7.2 billion (NZD 12.3 billion) before he was forced to withdraw his plan following the criticism.
