This Sunday, The Telegraph revealed that UEFA, which has been openly and explicitly at war with him over this matter, had allegedly threatened the FIFA president with legal action.

This Monday, the highly prestigious Times goes even further: Infantino’s opponents are reportedly planning to “paralyze FIFA” to force his resignation!

Worse still, some are even said to be ready to create new international competitions, running alongside — and therefore in rivalry with — FIFA’s, if Gianni Infantino were to remain in office!
