Danish FA allege FIFA Legal Committee evaded questions on Infantino’s plan

Denmark’s football federation head Jesper Moller said FIFA’s Legal Committee did not answer his probing questions about a controversial proposal to sell commercial stakes in FIFA tournaments. Moller told reporters he was surprised that the now‑abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise was not placed on the committee’s agenda and that officials deferred responses, saying the matter would be taken up by the FIFA Council in October. Moller used the meeting to renew calls for President Gianni Infantino to quit, arguing that the episode had caused a serious loss of confidence in FIFA’s leadership. The DBU has pledged to work with European counterparts to identify a candidate capable of mustering a majority against Infantino in the next presidential vote, scheduled for March 18, 2027 in Rabat. The proposal prompted strong reactions across world football, with bodies including UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and CONCACAF among those raising concerns. Several national federations have since withdrawn support for Infantino’s re‑election bid — notably the French Football Federation and Austria’s OFB, whose supervisory board said it would not back his candidacy. FIFA issued apologies to member associations over mistakes tied to the abandoned plan, and its leadership publicly reaffirmed support for Infantino following a crisis meeting in Morocco. Sources cited by Reuters have indicated Infantino still commands enough votes to be re‑elected, meaning opponents may need to shift tactics toward limiting presidential powers rather than relying solely on defeating him. Al Jazeera has contacted FIFA for comment on the Legal Committee meeting and Moller said he will continue to press for clarity until the issue is fully resolved.
