Noorse federation demands Infantino’s immediate resignation

At Om 17:59 today (Vandaag) the Noorse football FA issued a clear demand that FIFA‑president Gianni Infantino resign immediately, arguing that confidence in his leadership has been lost. The statement was made public in a live‑update that also noted a follow‑up at 18:01.

The live‑update was released with a brief note that a further announcement would follow at 18:01, underscoring the urgency of the federation’s position.

Infantino’s commercial plan to sell parts of the WK provoked a massive backlash, forcing the Zwitser organiser to abandon the scheme after fierce criticism.

Although the proposal was withdrawn, many national associations said the trust had already been damaged.

UEFA responded with a warning, stating that any association that remains with FIFA while Infantino stays in power could consider boycotting FIFA competitions.

The governing body’s statement added extra pressure on the global football hierarchy.

Lise Klaveness, chair of the Norwegian FA, told the media that they have long been concerned and that each year a step in the wrong direction is taken, saying, “The trust is now gone. For Infantino there is no way back.”

She continued, “We stand behind a global community that is highly polarized and in pure chaos, so we will ask him to step down immediately so the world football community can look forward and cooperate in the future.”
