MEXICO BREAKS RANKS WITH CONCACAF TO BACK INFANTINO

The Mexican Football Federation has publicly declared its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino, distancing itself from growing criticism of his leadership within the CONCACAF region.
The federation said it remains committed to working closely with FIFA and believes Infantino’s administration has contributed significantly to the global development of football through expanded competitions, increased investment, and broader opportunities for member associations.
Mexico’s stance comes amid reports of differing views among some football administrators within CONCACAF over FIFA’s direction and governance under Infantino.
In its statement, the federation stressed that collaboration with FIFA is essential to the continued growth of football in the region, particularly as countries prepare for future international competitions.
The Mexican football body also highlighted the importance of unity among football stakeholders, urging member associations to focus on strengthening the sport rather than deepening divisions.
Infantino has overseen several major reforms during his tenure, including the expansion of the FIFA World Cup and increased financial support for football development programmes across member nations.
Mexico’s endorsement is expected to strengthen the FIFA president’s position as discussions over the future direction of world football continue among regional and international football governing bodies.
