Infantino calls crisis meeting in Morocco amid growing criticism, seeks support

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called a crisis meeting in Morocco on Wednesday. Infantino wants to sort out recent developments and ensure he retains the continued support of member associations - despite massive criticism, several English media outlets report.

The crisis meeting in Rabat will discuss whether Infantino can still cling to power. According to The Times, his closest aides have urged several of FIFA's 211 member countries to publicly support Infantino.

Sky Sports writes that it will be an "intense meeting where no one can predict what will happen".

Since Infantino presented his now-scrapped plan to sell World Cup shares to private investors, several national federations have announced that they will not support the 56-year-old for re-election in March, including the Swedish Football Association.
