The Dutch Football Federation calls for an international summit without Gianni Infantino

The Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) has called for an international summit in Amsterdam, without FIFA President Gianni Infantino, to discuss a profound reform of the governance of the global body. KNVB emphasizes the need for new leadership starting in 2027 and states that a simple change of president will not be sufficient. After supporting Infantino's re-election in 2023, the federation has concluded that it has lost confidence in the current leadership, denouncing the excessive concentration of power around the president.

KNVB believes that the process related to the 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' project marked a turning point in its relationship with Infantino. The federation advocates for a strong and credible organization, with enhanced governance and increased transparency, that emphasizes human rights and sustainability. KNVB proposes a summit to define the future of FIFA and to identify leadership capable of implementing these changes.
