Infantino, who could potentially face a vote of no confidence from world football’s regional powerhouses, is visiting the Dominican Republic this weekend and was reportedly planning to attend a competition organised by the Caribbean Football Union (CFU).
In a letter sent to Infantino on Friday and seen by the Reuters news agency, Montagliani cited the “governance crisis surrounding FIFA” as the reason for the FIFA president to reconsider attending the CFU U-14 Series event.
Al Jazeera Sport has contacted FIFA for comment.
Infantino was received at Punta Cana by the Dominican Republic’s Minister of Sports and Recreation Kelvin Cruz.
Infantino was also welcomed by Dominican Football Federation President Jose Deschamps, National Commissioner of Football Benny Metz and Olympic Committee President Garibaldy Bautista Lorenzo.
Infantino is seeking a fourth term until 2031, but several national associations and key officials have withdrawn support for the Swiss administrator.
