Football bodies from six Arab nations have voiced strong support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino as he faces criticism over a failed World Cup investment proposal.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino got a noticeable push behind him from six Arab football federations, even as he’s dealing with louder criticism after a private investment proposal fell apart — and yes, it was connected to the FIFA World Cup. On Thursday (August 13, 2026), the federations released a joint note saying they have “full support” and also “confidence” in Infantino’s leadership, during this tough, somewhat messy period for world football’s governing setup.

That paper was signed by the football authorities from Morocco, Qatar, Egypt, Mauritania, Lebanon,and Sudan. What stands out is that four of those signers are also represented on the FIFA Council, which is the highest decision-making body between congress meetings. Their backing is being seen as a clear signal of unity behind the FIFA president, particularly as political pressure is building inside international football circles. Infantino has been put under a microscope after the collapse of the proposed private investment scheme tied to future World Cup-related revenues. Critics said the whole thing didn’t show enough transparency, and they also pointed out worries about FIFA’s longer term financial blueprint. Since then, the episode has sparked a wider argument among football associations, and stakeholders about the organization’s governance, and where it should be heading next.

Despite the criticism , the six Arab federations kinda praised Infantino’s efforts to push football into more places, while also trying to fortify the sport’s growth across different regions. In their view, FIFA’s new actions are about putting more resources into football infrastructure, youth initiatives , and international competitions , not just talking. Morocco’s backing feels extra relevant too, since the country is slated to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Qatar, which pulled off the 2022 tournament, also signed on to the statement, so it really signals ongoing regional support for Infantino’s leadership . The public endorsement comes at a crucial moment as FIFA prepares for future tournaments and governance discussions.. Even with opposition figures still raising doubts about parts of the failed investment proposal , support from influential Arab federations gives Infantino some useful political momentum. So as debates keep moving around FIFA’s next direction, the endorsement from these six federations suggests Infantino hasn’t lost his base among key voices in global football, which could strengthen his hand before upcoming decisions inside the organization .
