Janni Inafino, described in the coverage as president of FIFA, is facing significant internal and external challenges to his leadership, particularly over his proposal to sell commercial rights to the World Cup. This plan has triggered backlash from major football confederations like UEFA, which has declared it would not support his re-election and has even considered legal action against him. Despite the controversy, he retains public support from U.S. President Donald Trump and has been promoted by Trump as a potential candidate for UN Secretary-General.
