Fifa backs Infantino after admitting mistakes

Gianni Infantino will remain as Fifa president after senior executives reaffirmed their support during an emergency meeting in Rabat, Morocco, despite the governing body acknowledging "mistakes" in its aborted plan to sell stakes in competitions to private investors. The proposal, known as Fifa Forward Enterprise, drew criticism from Uefa and several member associations, with some calling for Infantino's resignation. Fifa apologized for errors and pledged a review, while Infantino faces potential challengers ahead of the 2027 election.
