Fifa senior leaders reaffirmed full support for president Gianni Infantino during a crisis meeting in Morocco on Wednesday. The organization announced the backing following discussions among top officials.
The gathering occurred after widespread reaction to a proposal by Infantino to establish a company to manage commercial rights for major Fifa competitions, including the World Cup. Under the plan, stakes in the commercial entity would be sold to private investors.

Infantino's initiative generated criticism and resistance from football executives and confederations around the world. Despite the pushback, officials demonstrated complete backing for the president during the emergency summit.
