Wales breaking news plus weather and traffic updates (Monday, August 3)
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has withdrawn its support of FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s re-election.
The FAW has become the first national governing body to publicly pull its backing of Infantino, just days after he dramatically U-turned on proposals to ‘sell off’ major competitions like the World Cup. FIFA planned to create a private company, open to investment, to run its headline competitions to raise billions of pounds.
The association told Sky News it “hereby confirms its withdrawal of support for the candidature of Mr Gianni Infantino, for re-election as FIFA President for the 2027-2031 term.” See more what on the FAW said here.
