Infantino calls emergency FIFA meeting in Morocco amid lack of public support

On August 5, 2024, Sky Sports reporter Rob Harris reported that FIFA President Gianni Infantino has summoned senior FIFA officials to an emergency meeting in Rabat, Morocco, scheduled for the following day. The specific agenda remains unclear. Infantino was last seen in Morocco attending Throne Day celebrations for King Mohammed VI. Morocco is set to co-host the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. The meeting occurs as the public awaits a statement from Infantino. Notably, no one within FIFA has publicly expressed support for Infantino, and only four senior officials have criticized him or the World Cup share sale plan in writing, highlighting internal dissent.
