AFA Backs Gianni Infantino’s Leadership Amid Changes at FIFA
Through its social media channels, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) publicly supported Gianni Infantino’s leadership during his decade-long tenure at FIFA.
In a statement, the AFA expressed appreciation for the efforts made over the past 10 years, citing the development of football worldwide and the establishment of strong governance based on clarity, stability, and transparency. “On behalf of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), and its Executive Committee, we address you, dear President, and through you the FIFA leadership, to express our support for the work carried out over the past 10 years,” they stated.
Additionally, the AFA recognized the withdrawal of a specific project that created “more uncertainty than certainty,” referring to FIFA Forward Enterprise, and acknowledged the acceptance of mistakes made during that period.
“Prioritizing governance standards is a fundamental pillar for strengthening good relations between FIFA, its member associations, and the confederations,” the statement continued.
The AFA further emphasized Infantino’s leadership and commitment to transparent governance, which they believe has transformed FIFA by opening communication channels with all member associations. This, they argue, allows for cooperative efforts in promoting football across all levels and disciplines.
The statement concluded with the AFA reaffirming its intention to work alongside Infantino to foster a better and more inclusive future for the sport.
