Fifa president Gianni Infantino has dismissed questions about whether he considered resigning after the controversy surrounding the sale of the World Cup, laughing off the suggestion during an interview with BBC Sport.
Infantino was asked whether the episode had led him to consider stepping down from his position. He rejected the implication, responding that he was supported by the “vast majority” of world football.
The comments came in the aftermath of what has been described as a debacle over the World Cup sell-off. The supplied material does not provide further details about the arrangements involved or the specific criticism directed at Fifa.
Infantino’s response indicates that he does not believe the controversy has undermined his position within the international game. No resignation was announced, and no further changes to Fifa’s leadership were set out in the material provided.
