Association cites concerns over governance, transparency and a lack of meaningful consultation.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) confirms that it has withdrawn its support for Gianni Infantino to be re-elected as FIFA President.
Following an FAI Board Meeting, the decision was taken to rescind the letter of support that the Association supplied earlier this year. It has since written to FIFA to explain its reasoning.
The Association is grateful for the support that FIFA provides to Irish football, but recent events have raised significant concerns regarding governance, transparency and the lack of meaningful consultation.
Considering the governance challenges that the FAI has had to overcome in recent years, the Association feels a particular obligation to advocate for and uphold best practice.
