La Liga President, Javier Tebas, has publicly stated that Gianni Infantino should step down from his leadership role at FIFA. Tebas criticized the current state of governance within the international governing body, arguing that simply withdrawing the proposal to sell shares in FIFA tournaments does not resolve the underlying structural issues. In a post on the “X” platform, the La Liga president asserted that Infantino’s continued tenure is problematic.
While acknowledging the withdrawal of the privatization plan as a positive development, Tebas cautioned against viewing this action as a solution to FIFA’s governance crisis. Tebas further emphasized that the resolution of the governance problems requires more comprehensive action. He stated that continental confederations, national federations, leagues, and players should not be satisfied with the current measures alone.
The statement indicates significant disagreement between the Spanish football authority and the current leadership of FIFA regarding the necessary reforms. The comments from the La Liga president place considerable pressure on the current administration of FIFA. By directly challenging the tenure of Infantino and questioning the sufficiency of recent policy reversals, Tebas has heightened the debate surrounding leadership accountability and structural reform within the global football organization.
