During FIFA's annual congress in Paraguay, several European member association representatives, including UEFA's president and other prominent figures, staged a walkout in protest of President Gianni Infantino's tardiness. Infantino, who was attending meetings in the Middle East, arrived three hours late, prompting concern over leadership and responsibility. Key figures voiced the need for accountability and emphasized the importance of member associations' voices being respected, underscoring the congress's role in ensuring effective governance of international football.
"The annual congress is the single most important body to ensure good governance of international football. I understand the frustration from European Fifa members."
"We now expect Fifa to explain this situation to its members and ensure that the voices of the member associations are heard and respected going forward."
