UEFA chief Ceferin calls on FIFA's Infantino to resign, says he will not replace him

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin said FIFA President Gianni Infantino should step down amid mounting pressure, but ruled himself out as a successor. The Slovenian football official said he had no interest in replacing Infantino. Ceferin pointed to growing dissatisfaction and internal disputes within FIFA's leadership, saying change was necessary to protect the credibility of the institution. He did not elaborate on what specific allegations or controversies had prompted his remarks. The call adds to a series of public criticisms directed at Infantino in international football circles. UEFA and FIFA, the two most powerful bodies in world football, have clashed repeatedly on governance and commercial decisions in recent years. FIFA had not publicly responded to Ceferin's comments at the time of publication. The process to select FIFA's next president is set to draw close attention from national federations and football officials worldwide.
