The Swiss Football Association withdrew on Wednesday its support, previously announced in June of last year, for Gianni Infantino, president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), and candidate for a new term in 2027, amid growing objections.
The Federal Chancellery of Switzerland stated in a press release that it had decided to withdraw “the support announced in June 2026 for his candidacy” for a new term, following “a thorough reassessment of developments over recent months.”
