The KNVB, one of FIFA’s founding members in 1904, issued a scathing statement on Sunday, saying it had lost confidence in Infantino and wanted to reshape the body rather than just change leadership at the top. The Dutch body wants to host an international summit in Amsterdam and has invited football associations and confederations from around the world to participate.
