Dutch Federation Calls for Football Summit without Infantino
- On Sunday, the KNVB announced plans to host an "International Summit on the Future of FIFA" in Amsterdam, calling for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to be replaced by 2027 as part of sweeping governance reforms.
- The KNVB, a founding member of FIFA since 1904, stated it lost confidence in Infantino, citing that "we see too much power concentrated around the FIFA president" and insufficient separation between administration and leadership.
- Reform priorities include reinvesting up to 90 per cent of distributable revenue in soccer development, while the KNVB emphasized "this should not be a European plan for the rest of the world."
- Collaborating with FIFA's 211 Member Associations is central to determining "what kind of FIFA we want," as the KNVB argues replacing the President alone is insufficient for structural change.
- Infantino faces re-election next March, but regional powerhouses are discussing a potential vote of no confidence following his aborted proposal to sell a stake in FIFA events to private equity investors.
